daine returns for 2024 with the electro-smash, ‘SHADES ON ft. Kreayshawn’. LISTEN HERE.
Since 2020, Naarm / Melbourne based artist daine has made an indelible mark on the landscape of contemporary music by subverting expectations of their genre-diverse sound. This has led to global acclaim, support slots with the likes of 100 Gecs, personal mentor Charli XCX, and an upcoming arena tour with Bring Me The Horizon across Australia. After a dynamic burst of fizzing pop in previous single ‘CUT MY HEART OUT’, daine today joins forces with 2010s icon Kreayshawn for the nihilistic bounce of ‘SHADES ON’.
A driving cut of pulsating electro-pop, ‘SHADES ON’ fuses elements of the late 00s scene, trance and blog era rap to create a soundtrack for the most hedonistic night of your life. Introducing a deadpan, rolling flow that feels reminiscent of being carried off into the night, daine lets loose on ‘SHADE ON’s full-bodied, pounding instrumental; celebrating good times and all its excesses. Kreayshawn’s appearance on the track is an explosive twist – reliving her own propensity for the party lifestyle over a half-time, rap focused instrumental left turn that breaks the listener out of ‘SHADES ON’s hypnotic electronic reverie.
With their latest run of singles, daine has further shown their deft talent for adapting their songcraft to wherever their emotions take them. Capable of opening up their own intimate world with unflinching rawness, or as with ‘SHADES ON’, inviting the listener to the party of a lifetime, daine has proven themself to be one of the most diverse, malleable songwriters emerging today. A bounding example of daine in full pleasure-seeking mode, ‘SHADES ON’ provides another bold insight into the life and times of a young artist chronicling their experiences in the most highly-charged, visceral and most of all, fun, ways imaginable. daine will take ‘SHADES ON’ and the rest of their eclectic catalogue of contemporary hits on tour with UK pop-metal heroes Bring Me The Horizon across Australia this April – full dates below.
