Dende - Pregnancy Pack (EP)

After releasing his tasty single “Candy” in the middle of November, Dende is back by following up with a nasty new set to make the woman slopping wet in a 6-track EP titled “Pregnancy Pack.” The project is full of enormous talent, from beautiful songstresses, Lilly Aviana, Susan Carol & Bairi, to stouthearted emcees, Bobby Feeno & Cam Hayden to accompany Dende applying his soulful cadence to each ballad that will start the copulation in the household with your spouse. 

Starting with the intro titled “Cheri,” Dende warbles his way to our souls with such a delightful medley that’s pulling our heartstrings every time he ends a sentence. While you are away from his side, he’s spilling out why he needs you next to him. If this is the start of something beautiful, he needs to know because he’s catching feelings already. It’s hard to say no to you since he values your beauty while you are the woman of his dreams which he doesn’t want to let go of you. After the passionate chorus, it follows softly over to the following verse of the record. Feeling it in her soul, Lilly Aviana begins to let you know how exactly the next step forward with her goes. She wants you to know just how she feels for you since this is the most genuine thing to her. If you ever seek to have her, then you don’t even have to ask; she’s yours when you want it. It’s you & her versus the world in this relationship so prepare to fight for love alongside her every step of the way. The vibes don’t end there; they follow forward with the next track titled “Most Days” featuring Bobby Feeno. I did not know until days after enjoying the album that Bobby Feeno was Arian Foster, former RB for the Houston Texans. He was a force on the field, and he’s just as mighty behind the mic; he went along well with Dende's crooning while he stayed in the cut and laid out a few bars over the sensational production blessed on the track. The atmosphere smells like “S E X” & “Candy” when continuing these quim hymns on the project. It gets us to a destination we’re familiar with by delivering an alluring ballad between Dende & Bairi. They keep their love “On The Low” like Romeo & Juliet with intimate experience only meant for one person. Bairi explains she is willing to submit to him, but it’s for his eyes & pleasure only. No one needs to know the things outside the bedroom, and she plans to keep it that way. Dende is keeping secrets of his own with a girl he wants to himself. She is remarkable in the way he loves, and he wants to obtain her heart by serenading her to the heavens. All projects must come to a climax, and here on the Cam Hayden-assisted record “Thinking Bout Me,” we get a soulful send-off mixed with Dende's astonishing vocals and Cam’s ability to be a sophisticated wordsmith in anchoring this beloved record. Dende is helping the world maximize its love and create an array of new parents out here with this project, can’t resist the urge to meet your misses under the mistletoe and wants to start a family with this project playing in the background.

Dende always amazes us with each new record he provides to listeners, and this might be a classic that I can see played through for years to come. We know the success he’s been getting throughout the year, and we plan to see more coming to him in 2022. Cuddle up with your boo and have this foreplay soundtrack get you in the mood while sharing it around on all social media avenues.  - Frank WVZ

Has anyone recently seen what Joe Budden was saying on his podcast about male R&B acts? Clearly he hasn’t heard of the gentleman who goes by the name of Dende, who literally just blessed us with the “Pregnancy Pack” & I know damn well Joe would be swooning over this baby making music. Opening up with “Cheri”, the poignancy off rip is palpable, I can literally smell the lovemaking in the air & my sinuses are bad but it’s a gorgeous opener, so much fervor in the tender vocal work from both artists, that passion is just undeniably felt. Lilly Aviana & Dende’s chemistry on this record, I’ll just say that, I know timeless music when I hear it & I think you’ll agree, this collab is up there with some of the best R&B collabs you can think of.

On “Most Days”, there’s a sort of push & pull situation going on, she’s pushing him away one second then pulling him the next & it’s got him all twisted. The love is clearly there but it seems to be slipping through his fingers like the finest of sand. He knows it might be time to let go but he’s addicted to her but something’s gotta give eventually, Bobby Feeno adds a beautifully concise verse that really compliments Dende’s approach on this record. “S E X” seems to be all she wants from him & he doesn’t mind that at all but it seems that, what she wants is deeper than he already is, she wants closeness, intimacy, Susan Carol & he really do an impeccable job at acting out Lust vs Love on this beautiful number here.

How man licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of her Tootsie Pop, as many as she allows on “Candy”. I swear, the sexual tension is powerful & not just cause of that killer solo on the climax of this record, his vocals are absolutely soaring on this one, how could she not submit. He’d rather keep everything “On The Low” between them, he’s not in a rush to settle down but if you want it, he’s a call away or better yet, he’ll just call you but this stays between the two of them, two consenting adults. The features on here have been incredible & was not expecting to hear this freak shit but Bairi brought it & her contribution is so complimentary. 

Closing with the Cam Hayden assisted “Thinkin’ Bout Me”, he’s thinking about another man’s girl but it’s alright cause he knows she’s doing the same, it ain’t his fault, that dude should learn to treat her right, the game is the game & honestly, records like this help me deal with my own insecurities so as to not lose any future relationship to a dude like this. All in all, the “Pregnancy Pack” is a MUST ADD, if I could emphasize that more & in bold italics, I would but this music here is impeccable & with music like this out, I don’t wanna hear another complaint about there not being no good R&B out, just look & you’ll find it, this EP is hiding in plain sight, right before your very eyes Joe, open them please! - Anthony Colunga
