Daria Mirea Shares New Single ‘Before It Gets Dark’

Published

on

Hailing from Romania, Daria Mirea caught national attention on the hit music competition show, The Voice of Romania, in 2018. Currently based in the UK, the singer-songwriter began her songwriting journey in 2020, before taking up guitar and attending London Music School, where she immersed herself in the world of crafting melodies that speak to the heart.

Daria Mirea returns with the release of her highly anticipated single ‘Before It Gets Dark’. She is currently channeling her creative energies into even more vulnerable, delicate, and honest compositions, with her second single.

‘Before It Gets Dark’ showcases Daria Mirea’s raw vocals in a dreamy manner to create a distinctive and captivating sound. The pop offering embraces the emotions of feeling sad and hopeful at the same time while transporting listeners into a realm of enchanting soundscapes.

The song embodies the wish to be a companion on people’s journeys of healing and development with its potent lyrics and poignant instrumentation on the catchy melody. The pop track features acoustic guitar, piano, violins, drums, bass, and electric guitar, along with Daria Mirea’s delicate vocals.

The majority of ‘Before It Gets Dark’ was composed on a chilly September evening as Daria Mirea thought back to the balmy evenings of the recently gone summer. She then worked with two amazing producers, Romanian-based Andrei Horjea and London-based Jules Konieczny, to create a track with an organic feel and production that matched her vision for the song: to support individuals on their journeys of growth and healing.

On the song, Daria Mirea comments, “From the intimacy of a warm summer evening to an ultimately withered September, ‘Before It Gets Dark’ details the intricate journey of coming to terms with heartbreak, encapsulating feelings of hopefulness, longing, and despair, all the way to acceptance. It evokes the universal truth that humans chase fleeting dreams, even though these can leave us in the dark if they don’t reach fulfillment. This song was my companion in my own journey of healing and growth, and I can only hope it will do the same for anyone in need, as I believe it is through accepting vulnerability and becoming more in touch with our feelings that we gain strength.”

Accumulating press coverage across the likes of Clout, Fame Magazine, and Send Me Your Ears, and support from local radio stations, Daria Mirea has presented herself as an exciting musical talent with a lot of promise for the future. ‘Before It Gets Dark’ was recently featured on  BBC Introducing Essex and Cambridgeshire as track of the week.

Palmistry serves up stellar remix of Past Life Romeo’s acclaimed single “Sometimes, Most Nights”

Published

on

Past Life Romeo is the solo project of Camila Djadja, singer-songwriter, formerly of the rock group Sugar Pills. Camila is also known for her work with film and cinema, having produced several music videos as well as original soundtracks.
 
Past Life Romeo is a brand-new alternative pop project, mixing electro, hyperpop and rock. There’s melancholy and a sensuality in the writing and voice of Camila, mixed with the eclectic productions of musician Carlos Loverboy (Spill Tab, Blossoms, Myd…) who co-prouced Past Life Romeo’s first EP, and the garage drums of Jim Casanova (Annie Ada…).
 
This first Past Life Romeo EP, scheduled for release on 24th May, titled “You Look Just Like Me”, was recorded at Motorbass and offers a mix of analog and digital; a disk that is both organic and intimate. Throughout the EP, we find the influence of Bon Iver and Burial, but also Sega Bodega or even the pop of Lorde.
 
The EP was mixed by James Rand (Eartheater, Sega Bodega, LSDXOXO…) and evokes introspection and intimate questions on change, self-image, gender and sexuality.
 
The first single to come from the EP “Sometimes, Most Nights” was released on PIAS on February 14, 2024 to acclaim from Wonderland, Radio France Inter, Tsugi, iHeart and gained features on Apple’s New Music Daily playlist, Inrocks selection of the week, month and year, Têtu selection of the month and more.
 
“Sometimes, Most Nights” shakes up the codes of the pop song: between verse and chorus, the line is blurred. The song’s temporality is cyclical, representative of what it evokes: a relationship that goes round and round and doesn’t move forward: “We go round and round again”. The track mixes saturated guitars reminiscent of early M83, with hyperpop production elements inspired by SOPHIE and the candid, avant-garde pop of Farrah Abraham.
 
“Sometimes, Most Nights” has now been remixed by Londonian singer and producer, Palmistry. His remix adds a bold shot of hyperpop, EDM, PC music and dancehall to the song, slightly sped-up, which makes it the perfect party-starter song for this summer, in the club or on a lonely day at home.
