Artist Highlight: Dupree

This week's Artist Pro highlight is Dupree with his song "Wait" featuring Niche - discovered in our Track Explorer.

"Wait" by Dupree and NichĆ© acts as an homage to the golden era of 90s R&B. The track exudes a laid-back vibe, driven by soft piano notes, crisp hi-hats, and a steady bass drum which provides the perfect backbone. Itā€™s a nostalgic yet fresh reminder of how simplicity, when done right, can create something timeless.


At its core, "Wait" explores the frustration of a one-sided relationship. Dupreeā€™s lyrics express the emotional exhaustion of waiting for a partner to rise to the occasion. Thereā€™s a sense of self-respect and finality in lines like ā€œrepeat past mistakesā€ and ā€œgive their heart to a clown.ā€ The song captures the uphill battle of trying to salvage a love that feels unreciprocated, highlighting the realization that sometimes, giving up is the right choice.


Dupreeā€™s vocals perfectly complement the music. The delivery is heartfelt, striking a balance thatā€™s vulnerable without veering into melodrama. This controlled power allows the emotions to simmer, making the message even more poignant. True to the essence of R&B, the ad-libs and supporting harmonies add extra flavour into the track, creating a richness to the melody.


NichĆ©ā€™s rap feature seamlessly integrates into the song, offering a verse thatā€™s sharp and fluid. His delivery is effortless, blending with the trackā€™s rhythm rather than competing for attention. Together, Dupree and NichĆ© display a chemistry thatā€™s organic and unforced. Neither artist overshadows the other, and their collaboration elevates the song into a cohesive piece.Ā 


In "Wait", Dupree and NichĆ© craft a exploration of self-worth. Their interaction, combined with the nostalgic production lets the song linger in your mind long after the final note.Ā
