Ever since we heard Daya‘s “Hide Away” for the first time in 2015, we knew she was bound to be a star.
Following her breakout success and first ever GRAMMY nomination and win earlier this year, the eighteen-year-old multi-platinum artist is keeping that star quality with the release of her new single “New.†Â
“New†marks the first new music and creative direction from Daya since signing to Interscope Records this summer – her first major record label deal. The Stargate and Sir Nolan-produced track was co-written by Daya, Stargate, Sir Nolan, James Newman & Brett McLaughlin and was recorded at The Stellar House in Venice, CA.
Listen to the song below:
“‘New’ really is the start of something new. It’s a sharper, more direct perspective coming from me. No more talking in circles around my feelings. It’s honest, it’s raw, and it’s emotionally intense,†Daya says of the track. “I want it to be something people can cry to or scream out or dance sporadically to. Mainly, something that wakes them from a certain numbness and forces them to feel.â€Â
