Description
Following the success of her critically acclaimed 2023 album Version Girl, Rhoda Dakar returns with ‘Version Girl In Dub’ a deep, immersive journey into the heart of her signature interpretations, stripped down and reconstructed in classic dub style.
Reworking the tracks from ‘Version Girl’, this album shifts the spotlight from the lead vocals to the intricate musical details that often sit just beneath the surface. In Rhoda’s words:
“A dub mix affords an opportunity to highlight parts of a track integral to the overall sound, but which remain in the background, in deference to the lead vocal. Performances that are stellar, yet brief are here thrust into the limelight.
Dub is where the mix is the performance.”
Each track is deconstructed and rebuilt with hypnotic basslines, spacious echoes, and reverb-drenched instrumental flourishes, shining a new light on the musicianship that shaped Version Girl. From classic ska and reggae foundations to adventurous sonic landscapes, Version Girl In Dub is a masterclass in the art of the remix, staying true to the tradition of dub while bringing Rhoda’s unmistakable style to the forefront.
