Coming off the success of his 2018 release Single Player Game, Houston artist Dutch returns with his highly anticipated follow up album, Learning How To Lie. The 8 track project is a genre bending blend of hip hop, pop punk and rock; a unique sound that is ubiquitous to the mood that Dutch has curated throughout his career. Dutch’s vocals are dynamic and clear, while at the sometime highlighting the artists natural rawness which is essential to his emotionally driven music. The albums finds unhinged, introspective lyrics laced over haunting guitar licks, wavy synths and hard hitting trap drums, creating a listening experience that is unapologetically, Dutch. Learning How To Lie explores the full gamut between longing and loss; there is a sense of urgency lingering throughout the 8 track album, giving us a truly honest piece of work from the Houston artist.

About Dutch: 
After years of playing guitar in metal bands overseas and producing/djing underground house and techno music in New York, Justin Hill launched the “Dutch” solo project shortly after moving to Houston, Texas. While Dutch remains true to his underground roots on the production side (lo-fi sampling, deep sub bass, wavy synths & pads), he brings an unapologetically honest and raw vocal element to his new music (drawing from early 2000s emo/hardcore, alternative RNB, and modern hip-hop). Lyrically, he creates an emotional dialogue about loss, depression, and other deeply human subjects all delivered through a reverb-soaked / harmonized vocal style that has become his signature.

Track 1 – We on
Featuring: N.R.M.N

We on is a track that takes on a new perspective of a classic catchy inspirational rap song, The uplifting tones and classic sample layered with some classic drums that slap, Kaine Summer’s production and N.R.M.N’s classic reminiscent hook set the base for this record, LLLance and N.R.M.N both provide this track with some bars to let you know about how things weren’t always the best but ‘We On” now, the record eases out with a smooth break down by LLLance. This record is definitely a “wake up and get to the grind” vibe.

War with Cupid is another new perspective on some classic sounding hip hop production provided by Kaine Summer, this time around the mood is a lot calmer and more somber, allowing LLLance to provide the base of this record with some catchy and creative wordplay that paints a picture of a physical battle he is at with Cupid, Verses provided by both LLLance and N.R.M.N spring board off the hook to dive deeper into their current mind state on the topic of love, this is a really fun song that could find it’s way in anyone from a classic hip hop listeners playlist to a more mainstream listeners as well, both songs on this 2 track demp hold listen value and studio quality music .
