You know Dessy Di Lauro’s sound when you hear it. She is one of music’s most distinctive artists who, in her duo Parlor Social (with partner Ric’key Pageot), has found new ways to fuse sounds as varied as ragtime, swing and hip-hop infused R&B into a unique musical style. Perhaps not since Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band have the swinging Hepcat musical arrangements and swagger made famous by the great Cab Calloway been so consistently a part of the contemporary musical conversation. Di Lauro brought that throwback style into the musical conversation, but as you will soon learn, it would be a mistake to confine her to the jumpin’ jive box. She is reinventing herself with her Lo-fi, rnb, neo-soul, hiphop, Cuban, Brazilian musical vibes, sung in several different languages, poignant and thought provoking lyrics and beautiful Melodie’s. Her tone is sultry and her delivery is tremendous! She is a trailblazer and her music and visuals are beautifully creative to match.
