A Beautiful, Pop-Coated Maxi Single from Daisy Spratt


A new maxi single release from Daisy Spratt delivers a wondrous brand of honesty that comes through in lush pop-coated songwriting and soundscapes but also comes with a beautiful personality and character which is one of the things that end up getting you attached to the songs in the first place and that never goes anywhere.


"Green Eyes", the first of the two tracks tells a story from her perspective and releases a lot of inner thought to the point where it feels like it may have even been cathartic for her to write and release.


For the listener however, it's very relatable and understandable and she gives so much description lyrically that you were able to almost picture things in your head as she's singing them, and I find this to be a wonderful connection.


I absolutely adore the way that these songs both have a build to them and how they begin in one place and grow into something lusher and more full-bodied because that's a really smart way to arrange a song and keep the listener interested but at the same time these songs have a lot of heart involved and the performances are showing that throughout both songs.


Again, these are pop songs, but they have a contemporary backbone and an almost emotional drive that makes them sort of cinematic in their own way.


"Green Eyes" boasts a kind of vastness in its undertone and that's mostly due to these synth pads that are in the songs underbelly and floating around in the ether of the track, so it gives everything a sort of atmosphere for you to fall into and I really like that as well because that adds to that cinematic backbone I mentioned earlier.


The song was beautifully structured, and you can tell it came from someplace real which makes it completely authentic.


Both of these tracks feel like they could serve as part of the soundtrack to chapters in your own life at certain points and I think that's part of what makes them so freeing in a way.


Our vocal performance on both of the songs is outstanding and she does have that passion in her delivery that also adds to a little bit of that emotional drive but there's just a soulful approach to how she sings, and it works really well with that contemporary pop tonality of the songs.


"Winter Coat" which is the second track, has a lot of the same attributes including the sort of airy synth pad that lets the song sort of float in the air that surrounds you, but there are differences between the two tracks and in a strange way I feel like they go together conceptually.


You can tell that this is coming from an artist who writes music to get things off of her chest and to tell stories. Someone who releases music with very few walls built around her as she does it and I think that's part of what makes it so genuine and so appealing at the same time.


The second track is a little bit more upbeat. It's faster but it still has that amazing balance of textures and is dynamically perfected so that you can really soak everything in the way it was meant to be.


As I mentioned earlier, both songs have that emotional drive behind them, so you find yourself really getting attached to that character and that personality that both of the songs really give off and I think that's important when an artist is putting something out that has a meaning behind it.


Upon listening to the singles I took a little bit of a deep dive into Daisy's back catalog on Spotify and I'm glad that I did because there are a lot of amazing releases starting from 2016 and as you listen from then up until now you get everything from EPs to singles and you can really hear her evolution as an artist plus, it shows different sides of her songwriting and personality as well.


I strongly suggest checking these two new songs out first and then going back through her stuff because it's really worth your time to say the least.
