That's Entertainment : Daya
Once in a while I like to flirt…with Channel V. It keeps me in touch with my inner teen.
And once in a while, Channel V flirts back. Like it did last summer…when it made my…erm, day-a.
Daya.
Note down this name. I’m coming over all Molly Meldrum but I reckon she’ll be the next Taylor Swift. Everywhere I go - car radio, Westfields, iPod, Moorebank Hotel trivia night…I’m hearing the synth-fantastic song Hide Away.
The whole thing is AWESOME to the Key of Rad. Great vocals, heartfelt and smart lyrics, bass, synth… The whole thing is PERFECT!!! Now I’m not one prone to hyperbole…but in this case, it’s totally justified. And I’m guessing I’m not the only one enamoured here.
It’s highest peak on any chart, thankfully, has been in Australia, where Hide Away got to #6. Not bad for a 17 year old looking to buck the trend. She has an amazing ear for synth pop and beats, as well as breathtaking vocals for someone so young. And as it got to #6, I’m guessing a few of you already have it on your iPod. A sad sack audiophile like me, I had to harass the US Target to get the CD release mailed to me (it was released exclusively there).
Daya also recently featured on The Chaninsmokers single Don’t Let Me Down, which got to #3 a couple of weeks ago, and now she’s released her next single from her debut EP, Sit Still, Look Pretty.
I’m guessing the next thing I’ll be doing is buying a Daya t-shirt.
Ah yes, flirting. Harmless fun. Hide Away? Nah. Listen to it all night and day-a…
