Rising London singer/songwriter Dom McAllister brilliantly showcases vulnerability on his authentic, honest & incredibly relatable new single, “Prospects.”

There’s nothing better than fresh blood, and no, I’m not being vampirical here, sigh.  The fresh blood that I’m referencing is a rising, 22-year old London R&B singer/songwriter, Dom McAllister.  McAllister is definitely on an upward trajectory, after entering the Top 10 US and UK Spotify charts.  The numbers are nice, but what’s even better is actually hearing and experiencing a well-crafted product, composed of great talent and musicianship.  Dom definitely delivers that to the world with his new single “Prospects,” described as a “new freedom of expression for him – experiences with sexuality, anxiety, and the maelstrom of emotions that comes with it.”  That’s deep, and just the type of inspired subject matter and relatable theme that fuels a great song.  And folks, “Prospects” is totally a great song.

“I’m thinking that you want it / Sitting by the fire with your wet shirt in the dryer / Maybe you can make a move any minute.” There’s lots to love about “Prospects,” which is smooth and sensual in sound.  Dom McAllister has a truly distinct voice, and he shines like a beacon throughout “Prospects.” Specifically, his performance is beautiful and intimate – it’s clear that he’s being authentic, honest, and incredibly open.  Listening to his experiences with sexuality, he’s so highly effective in his delivery that you can personally feel the emotions that he’s conveying.

“Got my patience on the line … / Boy or girl this time, man you can’t make up your mind / Your preference ain’t my business / But you leave me on the side it ain’t right.”

While Dom does awesome bearing his soul and exhibiting vulnerability that so many artists lack, he’s also pretty damn cool as well.  He serves up the rhythmic melody on the second verse with a great swagger. The same can be said of the ‘pop-rap oriented’ sound of the bridge, clearly idiomatic of modern R&B and urban contemporary music.  As cool as those two specific sections are, the meaningful, catchy chorus is where his ‘bread is buttered.’  The falsetto is on-point, and dropping the bomb (f-bomb that is) only adds bite and intensifies the feelings he releases to the world.

“It’s not even about my fucking respect / The lack you give when you get lonely / Your place or mine, I’ll pick up this time / Pay me back, story of your life.”

Final Thoughts

“Sexuality comes into play with ‘Prospects’. I can vouch for saying that most of the gay community have been through that one ‘straight’ person who wanted to experiment,” Dom McAllister says of this stellar track.  He goes on to add, “There’s obviously nothing wrong with that but not when consideration and respect is neglected…Regardless of gender, everyone has been taken advantage of at one point.” Sigh, as a ‘prospect’ for the next artist to truly watch, McAllister sits at the top of the list.  Great vocals, awesome, relatable subject matter, and balanced, intimate-sounding production make “Prospects” truly a must-hear.
