Coming from Tel Aviv, singer-songwriter and producer Dorbi has been crafting his unique sonic output built on relatable songwriting and a dance-focused pop sound. Writing and performing music in both Hebrew and English, he’s been sharing his slick alternative pop sound over the last three years, winning over fans with his charming melodies, synth-driven arrangements and bright vocal style.
First sharing his sound in 2021, his debut single “עירום” unveiled his sound to the world, which he followed up with singles two and three later that year. Returning earlier this year, he dropped his debut EP titled Bleeding Time to open the latest chapter in his exciting musical story.
Now he brings us his latest release with his brand new single “No Lesson,” a dazzling dance pop anthem that takes cues from his pop inspirations of Lady Gaga, Lorde and Charli XCX. The perfect follow up to his ‘dancehorror’ style EP which tackled themes of struggle, pain and loneliness, “No Lesson” serves up a vibrant electronic pop sound that revolves around wanting to leave it all behind by ignoring the lessons and the powerful urge to live life to the fullest and revel in every moment of celebration.
Penned while in hospital when Dorbi underwent emergency surgery abroad, his isolation from friends and family stoked feelings of yearning for connection and provided the creative spark for the artist to decant his emotions into an uplifting pop music experience. In just ten minutes he’d written the main parts and captured them in a voice note which he used to produce the song a few months later back in Tel Aviv.
Setting the scene of the song’s inception with the bleeps of hospital monitoring machines, the steady thud of a kick and deep bass synth notes usher in Dorbi’s elegant vocals as he sings “when I get out of here, I don’t wanna learn a lesson, I just wanna live my life.” Perfectly capturing his feelings at the time, his poignant lyricism drifts above the stripped back soundscape before the beat drops out to make way for playful flutters of bright synth tones.
Building with rising energy in the beat and pulsing synth textures, Dorbi’s voice floats gracefully above to craft an infectious dance pop experience that’s at once catchy and profound. Backed by vocal sample shouts that express everything in life he missed and craved as the delicate flourishes of airy synth keys dance around the mix, “No Lesson” is a charming and atmospheric pop music experience as Dorbi continues to go from strength to strength with another stellar release.
