Dom Youdan Offers Original Take on “Addicted to Love”

I absolutely love a clever cover version. If you can reinvent a song and help me appreciate it in a new way, I take my hat off to you. I was already firmly on the Dom Youdan train, but after hearing the Sydney artist’s take on “Addicted to Love” I’m an even bigger fan.

Robert Palmer recorded this song in 1986, but this update makes it sound fresh as a daisy. It’s so incredibly cool. The stripped back arrangement also highlights those lyrics, bringing a new quiet yet powerful intensity to the track.

“I wanted to create an altogether new anthem; one that slowly crept up on you and met nostalgia head on,” Dom explained. “This is my homage to a track that has inspired my artistry, as well as being the soundtrack to many a late night (and very early morning).”

Dom has just announced a last-minute gig at London’s Ronnie Scotts on January 7. If you’re over in the UK, get on it!

Dom Youdan Releases Synth-Pop Gem, “Pockets”

It’s Friday and we’re all more than ready to usher in the weekend, so crank up Dom Youdan’s latest feelgood slice of indie-pop goodness, “Pockets.” This is smart pop music, full of melodic hooks but with real heart that ensures it makes an impact.

“The song is built around holding onto the things we cherish dearly, whether they’re good or bad, and keeping them so secret that eventually, not even we can find them,” Dom explained. “It speaks to moving on but also struggling to let go.”

Speaking of the weekend, Dom has your plans sorted with a show at Sydney’s Low 302 tomorrow night with Oly Sherman and James Campbell.

Dom Youdan Releases Stunning New Single “Tigerlily”

All too often it seems we lose our most talented musicians to overseas. So it’s great to hear a real talent has left another country to join us here in Oz. Once you listen to his new single “Tigerlily,” I’m sure you’ll be as thrilled as I am that London-born muso Dom Youdan has decided to call Sydney home.

The track has a folky feel that’s been freshened up with modern recording techniques. The lyrics which speak of the love that brought him here to Australia are also so beautiful. As a woman whose husband chased her to the land Down Under, the song has really struck a chord with me.

It hasn’t taken long for Dom to get to know our local scene. He’s already taking inspiration from the likes of Matt Corby, Julia Jacklin, and Flume. With a single as strong as “Tigerlily” under his belt, the future looks bright for Dom.
