Daya Returns With “Love You When You’re Gone”
Multi-platinum pop artist Daya has returned to the music scene with her brand-new single “Love You When You’re Gone”, which was produced by The Gifted. The track is the first release from her upcoming EP, which is due for release later this year. Having already experienced so much success, such as bagging two top 30 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, “Love You When You’re Gone” sounds like another hit and will surely continue her momentum.
“‘Love You When You’re Gone was written in a period of time when I was experiencing overwhelming feelings of loneliness and nostalgia,” says Daya about the release. “I found myself romanticizing a past relationship in a way that was almost willfully forgetting the reality of why it didn’t work out in the end. I realized part of the reason I was holding on to the relationship for so long was that I was scared to face who I’d be and what my life would be like without it, and so it’s about trying to let all that go and give myself the space and freedom to grow on my own.”
With “I’ll Kick A Brick (For My Man),” The Boneshakers prove once again why they’re masters of genre-bending soul and blues-infused funk. The track is an all-out groove assault, as infectious as it is empowering. Taken from their 11th studio release “Live To Be This” out in July, this song is a statement of power, strength, and the kind of loyalty.
From the moment the drums hit, courtesy of the ever-phenomenal Gregg Bissonette, you know you’re in for a ride. The beat is tight, commanding, and immediately danceable. Add in Randy Jacobs’ unmistakable funk guitar — with its perfect balance of grit and precision — and the foundation is set. But what takes this song over the top is Ron Holloway’s masterful saxophone work. His tone is warm and wild, weaving through the rhythm like smoke, adding texture and emotional punch.
Then, there’s Jenny Langer. Her voice is in charge. There’s no hesitation, no second-guessing. With lyrics that draw a line in the sand, she embodies a fierce protector who won’t hesitate to throw down. It’s refreshing to hear a woman front a funk-soul band with this level of confidence and unapologetic boldness. She owns the spotlight, and the band rises to match her.
This is a track by The Boneshakers built for movement and it is both a jam and a jaw-dropper. Put it on repeat.
