The album sees the duo fusing hip-hop and R&B, with Lizzy doing the majority of the singing while Dani handles the rapping. “We just want it to be more personal and invite the listeners in.” “An art opening is where the art meets the audience so for us,” Dani explains.
Though it’s their second album, The Opening acts as a reintroduction to the twins, both as musicians and as people. Now, the sisters are ready to showcase a style of music they feel is truer to themselves by returning to their hip-hop roots. Due to the success of “Dancing in the Sky,” the pair experimented with an eclectic mix of genres saying that they “just had fun with it because we knew people would be coming from all ages, all directions, to find this record, so we did a lot of genres on it.” “It’s not about us going into hip-hop or in a hip-hop direction,” the sisters say, “it’s actually about us going back to it, because that is our roots.”įollowing the take-off of their viral hit single, “Dancing in the Sky,” that garnered tens of millions of views online, the duo signed to 604 Records and in 2016 released their debut album, Work of Heart. When you press play on Dani and Lizzy’s sophomore album, The Opening, you may be surprised to hear the pair shift over to a more hip-hop-oriented soundscape – but for them, this is their home.
