Dinzy - "Turn My Mind Off"

By Anthony Nguyen and Staff

With a stunning display of musicianship and raw rock charisma Dinzy manages to deliver a masterpiece with her song “Turn My Mind Off”. The drums are explosive and drive the whole song. The toms are massive and every smack is ridiculously satisfying, a nod to both the playing and mixing. The kick and snare reassure the pace of the song with every solid hit. Working in perfect tandem with the drums is the bass, which provides a nice foundation for the rest of the song to rest on. The guitars are no joke either. Thick and punchy, they are expertly played and chug along maintaining listener interest throughout. Dinzy’s vocals absolutely breathtaking. She exudes such confidence and power while still maintaining pinpoint accuracy in her technique and pitch. This in combination with her infectiously bright charisma makes her vocals particularly standout, even amongst some of the best singers today.

Even though the instruments sound amazing, what makes this song stand toe to toe with any of its peers is the superb production and arranging. Each section flows into the next effortlessly. Each part of the song feels unique and fresh, instruments go in and out as needed to make sure there is never a stale moment. One example (of many) of this is in the post chorus when the song goes barebones with just the guitars and a phaser effect, allowing the song to breath before bursting into the next section. The verse is bold and exciting, while the chorus somehow manages to ramp up the energy even more with fierce vocals and clever arranging from the guitars. There is a guitar solo towards the middle of the song performed by Drew Creal which is very impressive. It is technically excellent but also manages to convey emotion at the same time, no easy task. This is the perfect palate cleanser going into the bridge which serves as a anticipatory calmer before exploding into the last chorus. This gives the outro a feeling of new energy and is the perfect way to pull the curtains on a magnificent production.

The inspiration for this song comes from the exuberant feeling of complete freedom. The song quite literally screams to break away from the chains of the mind that often hold us captive. “Turn my mind off Start turnin' me on Make the time stop You know I’ve been waiting so long” is just one example of the lyrics that really nail this theme down. From the arranging, to the mixing and even the background vocals no stone seems to be left unturned when it comes to excellence. With one of the best rock vocals to be heard this year, along with top notch producing and playing from the musicians, “Turn My Mind Off” by Dinzy is a standout achievement in songwriting.
