Dave Curl Embraces Authenticity in New Single ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’
The wait is over for fans of Dave Curl, the Australian-Swiss singer-songwriter whose blend of folk, pop, and rock has been captivating audiences worldwide. He is back with ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’, via Running Wild Records, a track that marks another significant step in his prolific career, one that continues to embody his motto for 2024: “carpe diem.”
Dave Curl’s music is a soulful mix of folk, pop, and rock, with an alternative edge that sets it apart. Drawing influences from the giants of the 80s and 90s like Sting, Eurythmics, and Bryan Adams, as well as contemporary artists such as Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, and Jack Johnson, Dave’s sound is both nostalgic and fresh. His exceptional songwriting abilities and authentic style have led to comparisons with artists like Milow and Bono, while his irreverent, anti-establishment vibe resonates with fans of Nick Cave and Lou Reed.
‘Don’t Talk Anymore’ is a powerful rock anthem that captures the zeitgeist of our tech-saturated era. The track kicks off with a glitchy introduction, bluesy guitar riffs, and an edgy bass line, all supported by a syncopated drum groove.
Dave Curl’s inspiration for ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’ came from a train journey through the Italian part of Switzerland. Expecting lively chatter, he was instead met with eerie silence as passengers were glued to their screens. This moment of realization sparked the creation of the song, which serves as an ironic reminder of the importance of meaningful communication in an increasingly virtual world.
“‘Don’t Talk Anymore’ captures the modern epidemic of disconnection, as people immerse themselves in smartphones rather than meaningful conversation. Inspired by a train journey through the Italian part of Switzerland, I was struck by the eerie silence of fellow passengers glued to their screens. Expecting lively chatter, I instead found an irritating scene of silence. This moment sparked the idea of ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’. The song serves as an ironic reminder of the importance of meaningful communication in an increasingly virtual world.” – Dave Curl

Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
