“It had been about a year and a half since the release of my last record, Orca,” Dapperton says of his newest single “Wet Cement.” That was a long time for me to discover new inspiration.” However, he knew he couldn’t force it. “‘Wet Cement’ talks about the push and pull, back and forth, and uncertainty of life,” the artist continues.
It’s his first original release since he announced his signing with Warner Records in the Fall of 2022. Throughout his career, the New York native has been careful to sidestep definition, crafting music that defies genre and summation. It’s an experimental spirit that adds vibrant layers to “Wet Cement.” Now, with the powerful new track he is poised to become an era-defining artist. Look for big things to come from Dapperton in 2023!
