Dominic Fike - What Could Possibly Go Wrong

Back in 2019, Brockhampton uploaded a video titled ‘This is Dominic Fike’ onto their YouTube channel, introducing the Floridian pop star alongside showing a performance of his summer hit of a debut single, ‘3 Nights’. Subsequently tipped by the collective’s Kevin Abstract with a feature on solo LP ‘Peach’, name-checked by Billie Eilish and with ‘3 Nights’ appearing pretty much every time you turn on the radio, the rapper’s rise has been verging on stratospheric. On this full-length debut, ‘What Could Possibly Go Wrong’ shows just why he’s ready for greatness. A long time coming, the record is fully worth the wait, Dominic flexing his musical muscles in a genre-blending debut that sees him dip his toes into rap, hip hop, pop, rock, emo, and more. A sure-to-be-beloved album amongst Gen Z-ers, the whip-smart ‘Cancel Me’ riffs on cancel culture whilst interspersing the lyrics with Jimmy Kimmel and Brockhampton references; the insanely catchy, R&B-infused ’Chicken Tenders’ is all about having post-coital snacks, while the Rex OC-esque ‘Why’ will undoubtedly become a definitive soundtrack for summer evenings. ‘WCPGW’ finds Dominic delivering on the hype and then some.
