d’Z and Bernadette Dengler Present “Shout! ft. Chris Korzec”

“Shout! ft. Chris Korzec” bursts onto the scene like a jolt of sonic sunshine, but this time with the creative vision clearly rooted in d’Z’s musical world. The single, released on November 14th, 2025, brings together the inventive groundwork of d’Z with the lyrical and melodic instinct of Bernadette Dengler, forming a partnership that balances precision with effortless energy. It stands as a vibrant showcase of artistry, friendship, and pure musical joy.

From the very first notes, it is clear that “Shout!” is not content to sit quietly in the background. The four piece horn section injects life into every bar, bouncing around Bernadette’s vocal lines with playful energy. Meanwhile, d’Z shapes the musical architecture with a fluid and elegant foundation on keys, arranging and producing each layer with intention. And then there is Chris Korzec, whose guitar solo does not just complement the song. It commands it. His performance is the kind of epic and expressive playing that lingers long after the track ends.

The song’s roots trace back to the pandemic years, when d’Z composed the initial harmonic framework on piano. The music carried intricate movement and emotional color, but needed a lyricist who could weave a flowing melody through its challenging progression. Bernadette became that missing piece. Her natural feel for melodic contour and her ability to glide through complex harmonies gave the composition a voice that felt both intuitive and alive.

Listeners will catch glimpses of influences that inspire both artists, from the vocal imagination of Jacob Collier to the smooth sophistication of Gino Vannelli and the groove centered character of Incognito and The Brand New Heavies. Even so, the track maintains its own identity, shaped by the combined instincts of d’Z’s musical architecture and Bernadette’s melodic storytelling.

Recorded at Edgetip Studios in Arnhem with engineer Raoul Soentken, the track carries a warm and organic energy. The recording followed an old school approach, beginning with drums and bass, then keys and guitars, before horns were added as the final layer. The result is a lively and textured sound that feels honest, crafted, and full of character.

“Shout!” stands as a celebration of collaboration, creativity, and the spark that emerges when two artists trust each other’s instincts. It is a feel good anthem with musical depth and an undeniable sense of joy.
