Dimash's Dimensions Concert Looks Like It Will Be Otherworldly

Looking at Dimash's Dimensions concert concept posts, I feel a sense of ... otherworldliness. Yeah well, duh.... he said 'dimensions', didn't he? 😆😆

Dimensions Chapter One

Dimensions Chapter Two

Dimensions Chapter Three

But it made me think of how he sings in ways that gently, almost imperceptibly, pulls us into his world. And one of the most fascinating ways he does this is through his airy vocals.

His airy, breath-rich vocals create a sense of intimacy, vulnerability and emotional fragility. Instead of sounding purely powerful or polished, his voice seems to let us hear the emotions lingering in every exhale. As though he is sharing something deeply personal with us.

I find it so captivating about Dimash that he can move between different vocal colours — from a soft, breathy intimacy to a rich, resonant tone and then into astonishing power — often within the same performance.

The contrast makes the emotion more vivid.

Have you ever felt your breath stop as you watch/hear him, your eyes wide (not wanting to miss a single movement) and your mouth open (slack-jawed in amazement)? Or feel a catch in your chest and a lifting-up at moments in his singing?

Perhaps that is one reason certain moments in Dimash's singing feel less like a performance and more like a glimpse into the singer's soul.

Oh my gosh, he fascinates me more than ever.

And now I can't wait to see what he has to show us at his Dimensions concert. Even if I can't be there, I will wait for the videos he is sure to upload. One thing's for sure, Dimash is one of a kind.

The Story Behind 'Daididau' The Poem and Folk Song

While on the Internet, I found an article about the story behind 'Daididau' and it's the most 'complete' I've found so far. It makes for very interesting reading. Daididau : From Obscure Poem to Worldwide Hit https://medium.com/illumination/daididau-from-obscure-poem-to-worldwide-hit-b25e2ea74dd9 Excerpt : "A Silenced Poet It begins like a fairytale: Once upon a time there was a poet who was very much in love with his wife. Her name was Zuleikha Kurmanbaykizi, and his nickname for her was “Daididau.” Distant cousins and teenage sweethearts, they had been married off to other people by their parents, as was customary in their day. Only after they both became widowed at a young age were they able to build a life together. This young poet, Magzhan Zhumabayev, dearly loved his homeland. At the time of his birth in 1893, Kazakhstan was being ruled by the Russian Czar .... The Kazakh people, however, aspired to self-governance." In the article, the writer...

Dimash's New Song : I Miss You (Я скучаю по тебе)

Dimash's latest song premiered on his YouTube channel on 5 December 2020 and what a beauty of a song it is. Simple lyrics and gentle melody but interpreted by the inimitable Dimash Kudaibergen! Song lyrics for 'I Miss You' Music by Igor Krutoy Russian lyrics by Igor Nikolaev ⭐English Translation (Thank you, Google and a kind dear) On the sunset shore is the place of our meeting, and a flock of birds is circling over the shore. It’s like the first time I’m standing here on the beach, but I don’t know. Where are you, who are you with? I miss you, your eyes and your smile. And here, for evil fate, I will come again to wait for our meeting. For someone it is so easy, for me it is so difficult to start my life from scratch. I can't do that. Here on the shore, believing and loving, I will wait for you. Where are you, who are you with? I miss you, your eyes and your smile. And here, in spite of fate, I will come again to wait for our meeting. Our meeting place is on the sunse...

'Shine Super Brothers S2' Program : Dimash & His Bros

When we first heard about the 'Shine Super Brothers S2' program, we weren't sure what it was. Surely it wasn't another version of 'The Singer' for such formats were no longer approved under current Chinese government protocols. Some said it was a competition with eliminations... others said it was just a program with artists living together and working on tasks together. Yet other said it was a reality show where artists were put in a house together and then their daily interactions were observed. It turned out that all these descriptions were correct, in a manner of speaking. Dears waited to see what would happen. Well, I am not sure what others experienced but I found out fast that I had to follow the Youku YouTube channel (my phone couldn't handle yet another app), the 'Shine Super Brothers' official Weibo account and random Chinese dears' Instagram accounts because they were literally on-site and would share photos and videos of their s...
