Like all South Floridians, singer and rapper DICI knows plenty about boats. They were a constant presence on the blue water of Biscayne Bay in his native Miami; now that he’s older and has had musical success, he’s in a position to score one of his own. Two million streams on Spotify, three million views of his videos on YouTube, and nearly 100k TikTok followers will do that for an artist. And it’s clear he’s got the sea on his mind: both his new single “Do What I Can” and its accompanying video are set aboard a ship. Yet the boat he shows us is not the floating party of conventional hip-hop fantasy.
Gorgeous moodiness is nothing new for DICI, who has been drenching his music in beautiful minor-key melody and glossy synthesizer since the beginning of his career. His breakthrough single “Shibuya” (a tribute to his Japanese heritage) and recent recordings “Will You Stay” and “u n I” are every bit as haunting as they are exciting. They’re showcases for DICI’s inimitable voice, which is simultaneously smooth and menacing, seductive and aloof, youthfully innocent and worldly-wise. He’s never communicated his unquenchable longing and his desire quite as forcefully, or with as much beauty, as he does on “Do What I Can.”
