Dominique Gomez is a Bay Area based singer and songwriter. Influences spanning Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks to Alicia Keys and Florence and The Machine are funneled through a classic ear and millennial experience, culminating in a polished, contemporary take on golden era tone. Gomez’ forthcoming EP “Seasons of The Heart” brilliantly exercises that commitment to song craft, immediately plunging listeners into a beautifully narrated world of last-call guitar and the smoke tinged sustain of vintage electric piano on EP opener “Maybe I’ll Fall In Love (with you).” Detailing the myriad emotional and material crossroads of the 27 year old Latina’s life, it feels apt to describe “Seasons of The Heart” as the bespoke soundtrack to an intimate portrait film following a woman as she becomes herself. Gomez’ voice sails directly into listeners’ focus as she recounts her own coming of age, supported by equally bombastic production marrying the “live” quality of great talent with studio precision and clarity, courtesy of engineer/producer Reto Peter. Private epiphanies of purpose, anger, desire and anxiety are revealed earnestly by a voice at once outsized and tender, the texture of each track intended to show you as much as it tells.
