Carmen Nichole – Dory Said [Single]

Navigating the highs and lows of life is no small feat, but Carmen Nichole’s latest single, “Dory Said,” offers a soulful compass for the journey. This stirring neo-soul piece transitions smoothly from gut-wrenching lows to peaks of hope, all while never letting its enveloping mood falter. 

Carmen‘s voice, a truly beautiful and multi-hued instrument, brings a warmth that’s both cozy and commanding as it guides us through the corridors of her personal journey. The lyrics are a candid look at the daily struggles that can weigh heavy on the soul. Carmen doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities that a string of bad breaks have had on her. Instead, she turns them into a soul-stirring account of tapping into grace under fire. The chorus, inspired by the ever-optimistic Dory from Finding Nemo, serves as a spiritual anchor. “Like Dory said/Keep swimming, keep swimming,” she repeats, turning this simple phrase into a mantra for toughing it out.

As the tune unfolds, our leading lady moves toward a more hopeful tone. “So let me find my Zen / Just know that you are winning,” Carmen sings, signaling a hard-won moment of clarity and a newfound resolve to keep on keeping on. This is a lovely number that serves as a reminder that even when the world feels heavy, there’s a melody, a lyric, or a voice like Carmen Nichole’s that can lighten the load.
