Greek, NYC-based singer-songwriter and talented composer Dora Pj has shared When The Shadows Fall, a three song emotional musical tapestry. The music is the first release in quite some time, following her 2022 release "Taking Back My Love". When The Shadows Fall is a rebirth for the Berklee-trained singer-songwriter.
With When The Shadows Fall, Dora Pj blends soul, pop, jazz and blues for a seductive musical journey. Throughout the three songs, Dora Pj's vocals take center stage with a commanding and spellbinding quality that is equally soulful as it is sincere. The musical collection opens with the title track "When the Shadows Fall", a declaration of wanting to feel free, alive and connected. The single begins with emotional piano chords under Dora Pj's breathtaking vocals that are both passionate and sultry. The chorus is anthemic and the rhythms pick up with a steady percussion, enticing with every note. With "Feel The Pulse", Dora Pj and her band create a jazzy and funk-fueled musical affair complete with dynamic basslines and groovy keys. The song is all about a magical taste of love. She sings, "Every step, sparks align/ In your arms, worlds combine / Every word feels so true / Only me, only you," showing this moment of romantic bliss. The collection ends with "Empty Spaces", a gorgeous slow-burning declaration of love to her father who passed away. The song is cinematic and confessional and feels like an old Hollywood ballad with its sweeping piano and emotional crescendos. With lyrics including "In the hush of evening’s glow / Where melodies would soar / With you side by side / Our melodies would pour / Until we meet again / Beyond the stars above," Dora Pj pens a poetic anthem of dedication to her father that is heartfelt and tender.
Dora Pj is one of New York's most exciting voices.
