LA-by-way-of-Jersey singer/songwriter, Dolo Tonight has released his new single, “Fake My Death,” with close collaborator and labelmate Roe Kapara. The guitar-driven swirl of indie pop and alt-rock finds the pairing bringing the best in one another.
“It was sick to work on this with one of my closest friends!” Dolo enthuses. “I feel like this collaboration has been building up forever so it’s dope to let it see the light of day!”
Lyrically, the song embodies the two writing partners’ styles as Dolo and Kapara masterfully display their clever brand of paradoxically upbeat misery with a unique balance of morbidity and humor that sets them apart from their peers. While collaboration came naturally to the pair, constructing the perfect song required a great deal of time, patience, and most of all, a whole slew of fresh ideas.
“We literally went through like 40 different versions of the chorus and finally once we found something that felt right, we both knew we had to put it out,” Dolo recalls. Speaking to their creative compatibility, Kapara echoes this sentiment. “[He] and I have been working together for years, so it feels like I’ve already put out a whole album of songs with him. Probably should have dropped one with him sooner, but I’m glad we waited for the perfect tune to come along” – one perfect for summer with its refreshing and highly infectious sound.
