The Love Theme: “Tomorrow” – both innovative and respectful of classic sounds!

Producer, Engineer, Writer, DJ and owner of Smokersblend Records & Audioblend Mastering, Dominic Owen and his brainchild – The Love Theme, have dropped the track, “Tomorrow”, which is the first of several single releases, while the project is preparing its album, due out in 2016. Dominic Owen is brilliant, easily one of the most underrated hip-hop producers of our time.

I’m not a Dominic Owen obsessed dude, but once I heard “Tomorrow”, I was totally blown away again. He is able to take dreamy retro soul and jazz induced tunes and give them an extremely modern twist without losing authenticity. “There is nothing like this” is what I keep saying to myself when I listen to a producer as talented as Owen, and then turn on the radio to hear how hip hop has taken a plummet down the drain.

This track, while wrapping up in little more than five minutes, is a sonically warm explosion from left field that only adds to the genius that is Dominic Owen. The samples that he mixes in with his beats are surprising as he is able to craft amazing songs out of un-syncopated rhythms. I’m not sure but I suspect that this may have been sampled from an Ella Fitzgerald track, which Owen triumphantly morphs into a modern-day urban beat. He is both innovative and respectful of classic sounds.

All in all, “Tomorrow” by The Love Theme will be a nice addition to anybody’s musical library, regardless of its genre, and is well worth checking out. Dominic Owen is a testament to what good music can do to affect your everyday life in a positive way.
