Disconnect

Listen: Disconnect — Darla Jade

July 05, 2021 in stream

Disconnect is a song about that experience of falling in and out of a relationship. It is about those moments where you seem unable to escape someone’s presence when we need space, and unable to put them out of your mind when you are alone.

Channeling 80s pop in the production, but drawing on Gen Z experiences through the references Darla’s lyrics reference, the result is that perfect thing: a pop record that grabs me in the feels whilst making me want to dance. For such a young artist, the sound of Disconnect is impeccable. Jade’s vocals laid bare in the verse, yet embellished with overdubbed harmonies that reflect her emotional self-reflection, all backed with a staccato melody that is itself a further use of her voice. Muted guitar giving the bridge a soft-focus drama before it is punctured by the energetic drumming of a marching band’s percussion section, launching us into the chorus that hums with excitement.

Having started 2021 strong with exposure on Radio 1 and Spotify, Disconnect is the title track from Darla Jade’s forthcoming EP, due for release at the end of this month. I can’t wait for to hear more from Darla soon.
