XANDOR, Insatiable Review

XANDOR is a producer and DJ igniting the deep house music scene with his sleek, erotic sound tapestries. The son of a renowned saxophone player, music is a core part of XANDOR’s life. He was inspired to make electronic music after attending a JAUZ show. His passion for creating music led to professional training and over two years of focused dedication. He has performed at some of the hottest venues in Boston, including Royale, Whisky Saigon, and many others. In 2018, XANDOR released his first single, “Craving For Your Love,” an exhilarating EDM track streamed in over 25 countries worldwide. XANDOR’s success continued with his next single featuring Will Jay, “Meet You There,” which surpassed 100k Streams on Spotify. XANDOR’s first Album, Alive, is a collection of songs made with LA-based singers and songwriters. The project focuses on different life experiences, from falling in love to heartbreak, chasing dreams, and ultimately following your heart. XANDOR is back with his new hit single, “Insatiable,” featuring the talented singer/songwriter Katie DiCicco. Along with the single is a stunning video directed by Alyssa Pascucci.

Bottom Line: “Insatiable” has a solid deep house vibe with a catchy melody and lyrics. The inspiration for the song came after XANDOR attended Zhu’s show. XANDOR explains, “I remember seeing a live saxophone and electric guitar player, and I wanted to create a song with a sexy vibe using those same elements. I found myself brainstorming ideas around the word ‘Insatiable.'” He hit the mark with a rhythmic guitar part that underlies the synth sounds. DiCicco’s vocal timbre and delivery capture the sexy nature of the lyrics and vibe. With beautiful dancing in the video, one can only imagine how easy this would pack the dancefloor. The guitar counterpoint behind DiCicco is energetic, and the two parts spin to a climax. “Insatiable” is a beautiful collaboration between house music and a captivating pop vocalist that started to take shape after XANDOR heard “Chica Bomb” by Dan Balan. He researched the vocalist and found that it was DiCicco. XANDOR explains further, “I then messaged Katie, and lucky for me, we got in touch! I brought the concept to Katie, and she wrote the song with Will Jay. I’m really happy about this collaboration because Katie’s vocals fit perfectly in this song. It brings that seductive feeling, and you can feel that emotion when you’re listening to this record.” With a sexy organic vibe, well-sung vocals, and an infectious beat, “Insatiable” hits the spot. That’s the short of it!
