Dionne Takes Centre Stage with Lush and Lyrical “I’d Be Yours”

Review By Glen Parkes

Out now (May 19th), Dionne’s latest single I’d Be Yours signals a major solo breakthrough for the artist long admired from the wings. Known to many as the soaring backing vocal and multi-instrumentalist at Florence + The Machine gigs, this is Dionne stepping out with conviction—and it’s magnetic.

The track oozes indie-rock elegance, mixing sensuality with spine-tingling sincerity. “ I’d Be Yours,” she purrs over bendy guitars that flirt with ’90s alt-rock and modern production sheen. There’s a palpable sense of freedom in every bar. You can feel the fire of Dionne’s wanderlust, the heat of her kitchen dance with her partner, and the adrenaline of those South American landscapes all baked into the melody.

Originally imagined as a duet, I’d Be Yours thrives as a solo showcase. Dionne’s voice holds power and vulnerability in equal measure, delivering playful, poetic longing with poise beyond her years. It’s got that Florence fire, yes, but also shades of St. Vincent’s confidence and the vulnerability of early Mitski.

This isn’t just a song—it’s a declaration. Dionne’s 2023 debut EP Give Me Vogue hinted at her potential, but this new single makes it clear: she’s not just stepping into the spotlight, she owns it.

If this is her first true stride into the solo sphere, expect Dionne’s name to rise fast. I’d Be Yours isn’t just a love song—it’s a love letter to self-expression, to womanhood, to the wild and winding road that led here.

Highly recommended for fans of shimmering indie, emotional depth, and bold new voices ready to be heard.
