Sammi Constantine, Dopamine Review

Sammi Constantine is a Sydney vocalist, songwriter, and recording artist with an edgy pop sound that makes waves in the Aussie pop scene. At a young age, Constantine developed her love for music, initially as a ballet dancer. Still, after a 6-week hospital stay in her teenage years, she transitioned from the dance world into songwriting and music. With a passion for being heard and a reason to make a statement, Constantine released her latest single, “Dopamine,” the third track of her upcoming EP.

“Dopamine” has a central theme of not being a people pleaser but being true to yourself and being yourself. Plunge into your mental shift and get new perspectives on life and relationships. Constantine shows a genuinely authentic, vulnerable side that is easy to relate to and digest.

Musically, “Dopamine” is supported by a pop beat with elements of dance. The staccato string sounds in the first verse are a nice touch. Vocally, Constantine has a sweet, expressive voice. The vocal harmonies are interesting, and the instrumentation is varied and builds.

Overall, “Dopamine” is a solid pop song from a talented vocalist and songwriter. Her voice is not overproduced and is supported by an expansive and ambitious collection of instrument sounds. Constantine is growing into a high level of timeless pop ecstasy anchored by just the right amount of hook-laden pop, organic instrumentation, and vocal eloquence. “Dopamine” suits one mood to your mental health, and she tailors another to the blissful ride of a catchy pop tune. That’s the short of it!
