Sashaying onto the scene in 2019 with the insouciance of a 20-something with nothing to lose, iann dior combines humility and ambition in his very name—a lowercase grab at the good things in life.

Like his late hero Juice WRLD, he makes his melancholia sound strangely alluring, whether he’s describing doomed love (“gone girl”) or existential pain (“emotions”).
