R&B singer Dounia released her third EP, NOT GOOD FOR THE EGO, on Tuesday (May 21).
The four-track EP features production from DJ Frank E, Danny Majic, Bordeaux, Jeff Kleinman, Non Native and Dounia herself, and comes on the heels of her March single, “Lowkey Girl.”
“It’s crazy to me how sonically different these songs are from each other, considering they were all made around the same time and naturally made a lot of sense to me to pair up,” she tells HipHopDX. “UP 4 AIR’ and ‘ZERO’ give me the dynamic melodic components that can set an ambiance and really make this taste pack colorful and airy, while ‘TOXIC’ and ‘TRUST ISSUES’ offer a duskier and lyrically dense feeling that I always feel is necessary to have on any collection of songs from me.
The Queens-born, Moroccan-raised artist first debuted in 2017 with her Intro To EP and has steadily perfecting her craft.
