An artist who has been steadily proving himself to be a restless creative force, Daniel Higley is back with his new single, ‘The Blah’. A bold new release featuring the talents of Brook Fraser and Silke, ‘The Blah’ is a bold leap into uncharted territory, showcasing an artist unafraid to push his artistic boundaries.

Right from the outset, ‘The Blah’ grabs your attention with its multi-layered approach and style sound. Picture contemporary rap infused with electronic percussion and a captivating blend of atmospheric synthesisers, all underpinned by pop and neo-soul sensibilities.

It’s a dynamic sound that unfolds steadily, creating a shifting backdrop for Silke’s vocals. Bright, melodic, and offering a compelling contrast to the instrumentals, her vocals bring a hit of clarity, delivering lines “about work burnout and the insanity and hopelessness of the work grind.”

‘The Blah’ is a track with significant heart, not only in its production and collaborative spirit but also in its message. The balance between all artists is finely tuned to bring out the best in the track. It’s a shared vision that builds with ease, creating a cohesive cut that demands to be heard.

Through and through, ‘The Blah’ highlights a deep sense of frustration in its lyrics. Something that sits in the heart of most of us. It’s detached, but dynamic, offering a knowing nod to a feeling we might not always want to focus on. The song’s sparse rhythms set the tone perfectly, letting you sink it’s the song with ease, building on that contrast to elevate both elements.
