D Fine Us - Safe To Disconnect (Album)

Sep 2022 - Some artists are more than entertainers. They love to connect with the audience through their music, capturing their imagination. This is the case of D Fine Us, also known as Tomer Katz, a producer and artist who loves to make an impact with his releases. He makes music based on his experiences, travels, encounters with others, and more.

His most recent studio work, "Safe To Disconnect," is a perfect example of what he is all about as an artist. D Fine Us has a very diverse approach to music. He is a huge fan of blues, soul, and R&B. However, the resulting land of sounds lead to a very personal and one-of-a-kind town, which makes his work special and intriguing. The music combines such a wealth of different styles. D Fine Us is able to create a musical language that is indisputably his own.

One of the most amazing elements in Tomer’s music is how he actually goes to great lengths to really portray the adventure of his sound first-hand. He did so by undertaking a very special journey to the famed Mississippi, where he had the opportunity to link up with so many amazing collaborators, including Johnny Drummer, Big T Williams, Lucious Spiller, Pat Thomas, Iceman. The album also features two of Tomer's long-time collaborators - Viggz, who sings on the tracks "Post Truth Era Blues" and "Safe To Disconnect" and the incredible Noga Erez, who has an awesome verse on “The Fox”.

Authenticity is a very important value for him. He always wants to portray the true sound of tradition, but at the same time, he can also bring a more innovative approach to his tracks. This way, it is possible to explore a much broader range of influences and develop high-quality music in a balanced way. Tomer can seamlessly share the sounds of yesterday with the audience of today, perhaps even tomorrow. In addition to the incredible qualities of D Fine Us’ music, the production value is off the charts. "Safe To Disconnect," in particular, is an amazing example of how to expertly combine timeless aesthetics with a very crisp sound that highlights the beauty of the melodies and the intensity of the performance. Although D Fine Us has been involved in music for most of his life, this is quite a recent project. It feels like a fantastic new outlet for him to creatively express so many different nuances of his visionary approach to production and composition. It is safe to say that “Safe To Disconnect” is the kind of album that defies the usual cliches of the industry with a very kaleidoscopic twist. There is something different in every section, and it doesn’t feel like the usual copy-paste song structure that sadly is plaguing a lot of modern music in this day and age! The artist’s versatility ensures a lot of focus and freshness right off the bat.

This release is highly recommended to fans of performers such as Mark Ronson, Danger Mouse, Bonobo, Anderson Paak, and many more. If you enjoy a modern take on blues, soul, R&B and other genres, this release will most definitely be up your alley.
