Failing romances are common fodder for pop but it’s rare that a song gets that crushing sense of deflation accurate, with songwriters usually sticking to the easier territory of sticking it to an ex. Dorsia mostly avoid romantic revenge in their single “Miami,” instead focusing on the slow death of a relationship where the passion was far too one sided. Kelly Pitlosh’s smooth and charismatic vocal performance impressively communicates both the disappointment in the lyrics and the spark of attraction that nonetheless still lingers, delivered with acidic aplomb in lines like “The longer that I knew you/The less I wanted to.” The rest of Dorsia’s EP is a little too heavy on the saccharine aspects of ’80s pop but “Miami” shows what Pitlosh and her collaborator producer Nick Colbert are truly capable of, with the neon keyboards and bubbling rhythms bringing out just the right amount of sensuality in the melody. If they can bottle more of this magic on future singles, Austin itself may end up being the real life partner the duo have to dump to triumph. - Ovrld

Bio
Dorsia’s founding members Kelly Pitlosh and Nick Colbert initially wrote two demo tracks in the fall of 2017 with the intention of a quiet release and a plan to gradually build their identity as artists over the following year. However, the demos found their way to the ears of some experienced industry leaders through a connection in Nashville and the feedback was so overwhelmingly positive that the two were motivated to write three additional songs over the course of just one month. All five tracks were written and recorded to completion in early 2018, scheduled for release in the spring.
While their debut EP “YOU/ME” is musically inspired by the ear-friendly top 40 hits of the late 80’s and early 90’s, Dorsia’s members Kelly Pitlosh and Nick Colbert thematically explore a much darker subject matter - the pain of unreciprocated love at its deepest levels and the catharsis that comes with the acceptance of emotional defeat.
