The Magic Behind the Music: How Dyrossi Brought Corizo’s “Soulmate” to Life

By Benson Idonije

There’s something special about a song that makes you feel like it was made just for you. That’s the magic of Corizo’s “Soulmate” from his Wayward EP a track that wraps you in warmth from the very first note. But while Corizo’s smooth vocals carry the emotion, the real wizard behind the curtain is producer Andy Osula, better known as Dyrossi, who crafted a soundscape so intimate it feels like a late-night heart-to-heart.

Picture this: the song begins with a simple, echoing guitar riff, like the first flutter of excitement when you meet someone special. Dyrossi could’ve drowned the track in booming drums or flashy synths (as many do these days), but instead, he lets the music breathe. The percussion arrives like a heartbeat steady but subtle with just enough groove to make your head nod without overpowering Corizo’s voice. It’s the kind of production that doesn’t scream for attention but demands it anyway, pulling you deeper with every layer.

Then comes the chorus, where Dyrossi works his real sorcery. The bass hums warmly beneath Corizo’s vocals, while airy synths swirl like daydreams. You can almost feel the song swell with emotion, mirroring that giddy, weightless feeling of falling for someone. And just when you think you’ve figured it out, the bridge shifts ever so slightly a change in the drums here, a ghostly vocal echo there like a quiet confession in the middle of a conversation. It’s these little details that make “Soulmate” feel alive, as if Dyrossi didn’t just produce a track but sculpted a mood.

What’s most impressive? None of this feel forced. Dyrossi’s genius lies in knowing exactly when to hold back and when to let go. The mix is so clean that every element Corizo’s voice, the guitar, the soft thump of the drums, finds its perfect place. There’s no clutter, no unnecessary noise, just pure feeling translated into sound.

By the time the song fades out, you’re left with that rare satisfaction of hearing something that feels complete where nothing is missing, and nothing is excessive. That’s the mark of a producer who doesn’t just make beats but tells stories through sound. Dyrossi didn’t just give Corizo a backdrop for “Soulmate”; he gave it a soul.
And really, what’s a song about finding your soulmate if it doesn’t have one of its own?
