Inspired by the magic of rummaging through used CD sections for that perfect retro find, the track channels an upbeat fusion of bubblegum pop and hip-hop percussion, with hints of neo-psych vibes reminiscent of Stones Throw Records, as noted by Flood Magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w-z_4pqceqk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Make My World<\/em> expands Dorio\u2019s meticulously handcrafted sonic universe by blending indie pop, electronic elements, and orchestral touches. The song features the dynamic vocal interplay of core collaborator Rachel Rascoe, who adds a quirky, heartfelt twist that recalls Stereolab\u2019s 90s reinvention of classic melodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>We were deep into finding out-of-press CDs from Italy and Japan, soaking in 90s bubblegum pop, classical guitars, flutes, and horns,\u201d<\/em> Dorio explains. \u201c<em>We wanted to reimagine our world with those sounds, especially the richness of the classical guitar.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel adds, \u201c<em>This song is all about the little moments\u2014like walking and talking together\u2014that can be either delightful or a drag. I remember when Chad played the acoustic guitar line that forms the backbone of the song. We were listening to Pizzicato Five on repeat in his car, and I started picturing us strolling around a spinning globe in giant cartoon shoes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Built around a cheeky, timeless guitar riff, <em>Make My World<\/em> swirls with sing-song bubblegum energy and maximalist lounge textures. Time-warp tape tweaks, a brisk, infectious beat, and decade-spanning sonic elements create a journey through nostalgic soundscapes, all recorded in Dorio\u2019s semi-analog home studio with a decisively contemporary edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this track, Dorio has enlisted a stellar lineup of Texas-based musicians\u2014CJ Eliasen on drums, David Alvarez on keys, Paulo Santos on flute, and Kenken Gorder on trumpet\u2014with all other instruments performed by Dorio himself. The result is a sunshiny, upbeat sound interwoven with occasional darker themes, as the lyrics capture the eternal desire for small resets\u2014be it a fresh haircut or a new pair of blue-and-white sneakers that never quite feel the same twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Make My World<\/em> follows the momentum of Dorio\u2019s latest double single, \u2018The Drive Collection\u2019 (2024), and comes after a successful national tour supporting the album \u2018Strawberry Dream\u2019 (2023). With live dates alongside artists like Video Age, Omni, and Katy Kirby, and previous tracks featured on Spotify\u2019s Fresh Finds and Fresh Finds Indie playlists, Dorio continues to carve out a unique space in the musical landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Signed with Earth Libraries and now gearing up for upcoming tours under Badland Booking, Dorio invites you to experience <em>Make My World<\/em>\u2014a vibrant collision of past and present, nostalgia and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen now and let the retro-pop journey take over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Austin\u2019s multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Chad Doriocourt\u2014known as Dorio\u2014has just dropped his latest single, Make My World.
