The eerie sound of marching military drums bring rhythm and urgent meaning to the song. Furthermore, it was Dolche’s full intention to use traditional gospel and choral voices to elevate the power of the song to resonate widely. She says: “I love big sounds and choirs. I love the soul tradition and gospels and the church hymns I sang when I was very little. There is a power, something magical in the sound of many voices harmonizing in one. With Universal Gloria I composed and personally sang all the different voices to show that in each and every one of us there are so many different potentials and sides. I wanted to write a Gloria song that was not religious but universal and could talk about values that we all share”.
We found the music video that accompanies ‘Universal Gloria’ to be particularly captivating, challenge and hard-hitting. It serves as a direct contrast and juxtaposition against the idyllic and love-filled lyrics by showing the inhumanity of mankind. The video is a vital reminder, a demonstration in support of all righteous fights against racism, homophobia, discrimination, violence versus human beings and animals. Dolche’s statement is clear and passionate. All cultures reiterate discrimination towards opposing races and identities. This video is a strong, emotional reminder for all the beauty this world has to offer and for our duty to fight for it.This is the only thing Dolche asks of her fans, this Christmas.
