After a hugely successful 2022, rising indie-pop talent dani mack is back with a new single to remind you of just how impressive this American starlet is.

‘Nothing Better’ is taken from from dani’s forthcoming debut EP, which is scheduled for release later this year. Inspired by the human tendency to overthink, the song’s lyricism presents us with a subject that is relatable to so many.

As the musical project of Baylee Barrett, dani mack has so far amassed more than 700k career streams from the release of just three songs. Be sure to keep this artist on your radars over the next few months – dani might well become one of the US’s newest indie exports.

One of the most impressive indie artists to have emerged from California recently, dani mack (a.k.a Baylee Barrett) continues to impress with the release of her new single, ‘fleabag’.

Similar to Barrett’s previous (and widely acclaimed) single ‘Someday‘, the track was self-produced with her band, and delivers an impressive blend of indie-rock and pop.

“’fleabag’ has layers to it. In simplest terms, which most can relate to, it’s a nod to dating and how terrible it is. On a deeper level, it’s a song about my own sexual repression and my difficulties with casual relationships. I grew up a devout Christian and letting go of the guilt that was instilled in me from such a young age is still something I still struggle with. There’s still a little part of me that’s afraid that come judgment day, I’m not getting into those pearly gates because I had premarital sex with some guy from a dating app.”

Signed to the Future Gods label, Barrett has so far garnered praise from the likes of NPR and Atwood Magazine, while her music has been supported by playlist curators on streaming giants Spotify, Apple and TIDAL.

dani mack (Baylee Barrett) grew up in the small town of Lubbock in Texas before moving to LA at the age of eighteen to pursue her dream of becoming a musician.

Today sees her return after two year hiatus, releasing new single ‘Someday’ as a fully autonomous artist. Self-produced alongside bandmate Chris Reagan, the song borrows its name from the first song she ever wrote:

“I wrote this new single, ‘Someday (2.0)’ while my first real relationship was falling apart. It was very toxic, but despite all the signs, my naivety gave me hope that things would turn around. If I’m being completely honest, this song was a last-ditch effort to save this relationship… It didn’t work out.”
