DAISY WORLD releases new single ‘pho & cry’ – the latest song to be shared from her long awaited debut solo album TOOTHPICK – out April 26.
Written and produced in its entirety in Daisy’s colourful bedroom studio, the collection of songs on TOOTHPICK despite their delicate nature, are never pensive nor scared. Her heart – ever worn on her sleeve – beats & bleeds with a transparency typically reserved for therapy sessions.
Newly released single ‘pho & cry’ is one such example of her intimate songwriting – arriving in the wake of her recent sold-out headline show at the El Rey in Los Angeles. A spellbinding sweep of 90’s-flecked, soulful, grungey R&B, Daisy shared more insight into the song’s inspiration:
“‘pho & cry’ is my ode to all the sweet 90s grunge pop ballads i grew up singing and swaying to. i wrote this about navigating walking away from something that you know you need to, while acknowledging that you’re going to be really hurting people that are important to you in the process. pushing yourself to grow while grieving what you’re leaving behind.”
