Los Angeles singer-songwriter Dominique Matelson has partnered with the People’s Coalition of Tandy to release her third studio album The Difficult Way. Growing up in the San Fernando Valley as the fifth child out of six, her life has been filled with a variety of personalities, all contributing to her eclectic and unique style of art-making and view of the world. Driven by stream-of-consciousness, Dominique’s songs create a world of their own. They are playful in spirit, but become deeply sensual and heartbreaking within her performance. Her genre is fluid, and not limited to one single category. Her vocal styling encompasses the best qualities of Roy Orbison, Happy Rhodes and Mary Margaret O’Hara. Dominique’s work, which began as a pillow of soft, haunting folk songs, has evolved into a living sonic sculpture built from the heterogenous blocks of sensory perception, loss, memory and the here-and-now of consciousness itself.
