Donn T Returns With The Debut Stream Of Her Forthcoming 'Gramophonica' EP Just One Day Ahead Of The Project's Release Via Her D-Tone Victorious Label.

Donn T follows the release of her lead single "Midnight" and the official video for the track with a full stream of the Gramophonica EP in celebration of the project's release today via D-Tone Victorious. The project marks not only the long-awaited return of the enigmatic singer and her smokey soul vocal but the countdown to her forthcoming full-length entitled Flight Of The Donn T. Produced by Donn T and Jake Morelli, the projects feature contributions from Mike McHenry, Anthony Bell, Danophonic and Steve McKie. The long-simmering LP is the byproduct of Donn T's personal and creative evolution that packs influences from some rather impressive formative experiences:

“These songs encompass the emotions I had about taking flight, about launching something new. The Gramophonica EP is soulful, eclectic, compelling, and a bit whimsical in spots. It's colorful. It’s the breath before full-out!” The aesthetics of the music were influenced by a somewhat unlikely source: “My mother is a big fan of Shirley Bassey and of the idea of the artist as entertainer. Ms Bassey was my first concert. She was captivating, elegant, irreverent, and witty all at the same time. Gramophonica is a nod to that experience.”

Continuing, she notes:

“I’m over the moon about the musical rush that I will deliver over the next several months. This time, the goal was more than just to create strong songs. It was to produce the vehicle for them to get out into the world. So here I am, taking the helm of that vehicle and driving it.”

Check out the tracks below to stream the project in full via Spotify. Purchase the Gramophonica EP via iTunes. Stay tuned for more from Donn T.
