Dekker - I Won’t Be Your Foe (2022) Hi-Res

Brookln Dekker was revealed to the public with a first album called Slow Reveal: Chapter One. Following this, the indie folk musician was able to experience a monster rise by counting more than 15 million streams in order to have a monster popularity. This year, he does it again with his successor, which is called I Won't Be Your Foe.

Twelve titles will be enough for Dekker to intoxicate us as he sees fit with his refined and poetic folk. Surrounded by his acolyte Stefan Wittich on profuction and Zach Hanson on mastering, the musician opens up to us by opening up perspectives on his life with his refined and introspective compositions such as "Small Wins" as an opening but also the sumptuous and comforting "Let's Pretend" or "Gem Of The World" and "Maybe October".

I Won't Be Your Foe smells like redemption and it's not intoxicating ballads such as "I Only Hope To Feel Love" or even "Supposed To Be A Friend" that will make us say the opposite. Dekker fascinates by singing the purest and truest love under a panel of emotions like the angular groove of "Are We Left To Help Ourselves" or the most haunting "A Sparrow Perched Beside A Drain" and "Do It All Again”. Once is not custom, the second disc which closes with a "Would You Mind Sharing Your Light" manages to give us countless chills with its sense of melody where we feel every emotion at every note. Such is the magic of Dekker.
