DOMi & JD Beck’s debut album, ‘WHO ASKED?’, is reviewed as an exuberant display of technical brilliance that deliberately resists conventional pop and jazz expectations. The reviewer argues that the duo’s virtuosity recalls a pre-Romantic approach to music, prioritising intricate composition, precision and playful experimentation over overt emotional confession.

The album combines jazz fusion, electronic production and rapid, highly complex instrumental passages, with guest appearances including Anderson .Paak, Mac DeMarco, Thundercat and Snoop Dogg. Although its constant stylistic shifts can feel overwhelming, the review presents ‘WHO ASKED?’ as an inventive and impressive statement from two young musicians with exceptional ability.
