This is a song-based vocal album that uses the relationship of technology and sampling in combination with live instrumentation. Dani's approach to songwriting and recording is beatifully original, however the tracks on Likes... are still based on the wordplay and hooks of great pop music. Each song has a unique character and the surrounding productions have been tailored to fit each one perfectly.

Dani has an extraordinary musical worldview, informed in equal parts by jazz and soul, punk and country, go-go and hip-hop and of course house and electronica. Fragments of all these can be heard on "Likes..."

"Walk The Line" is acerbic, driven by the twisted dancehall production of the tune. The beautiful "All The Above" duet with Mugison is dreamy for the most part until Doctor Rockit appears with his accordian and the song becomes a future ballad for polka-dotted, tangoed dancefloors.

Dani Siciliano likes...cars from the seventies, sidewinders, King Tut and to make music that is immediate and challenging. "Likes..." is a remarkable achievement by a remarkable talent.
