Dakari Eli Hits with Visual for Her Lush and Powerful Single ‘888’

Multi-faceted creative Dakari Eli delivers the visualizer for her single 888 from her upcoming EP “Cuffin’ Season” due out in January of 2023. The song itself is just about everything you could want in the melding of spoken word and neo-soul in a composition that goes WAAAYY deeper than a let’s get it on joint. Don’t get it twisted, it’s about THAT but in a story that doesn’t even glance at the casual encounter. This one is about getting your toes curled back to your ankle bones by that ONE who’s bonded with you on some tantric level type *ish.

Dakari effortlessly wields several styles on 888 to deliver powerful and lush vocals nuanced by the delightful use of timbre and intonation to get in your head. Her hypnotic delivery of the spoken bars reminded me so much of the cool calm and collected DJ on Warriors and when she started to croon, shaped a different connection that took me back…way back…I’ll just say about the memory 888 took me back to, reminded me of why I’m still where I am these past 20 years!!!

Enough “talk”, let’s get to it!
