Upon pressing play to Hunter Daily’s ‘Die In LA’, you might be surprised (and impressed) to learn that this is only the artist’s debut.
A truly outstanding introduction to a promising and talented newcomer, the song serves as a masterclass in melancholic pop. Executive produced by none other than Jenna Andrews herself, the track encompasses Daily’s feelings about living in Los Angeles:
“‘Die In LA’ is about being from LA and never feeling like I can leave or see other places because of the industry I’ve chosen. It’s juxtaposition of hating LA and the scene and not feeling like I fit in, but its also where I come from; I love LA just the same. I don’t want it to be the only thing I ever experienced at the end of the day. Everyone else gets to make that leap to follow their dreams and come here to LA or wherever to follow their dreams, but when you’re from here and in this industry, you’re forced to stay put. This song is about my longing to see more of the world and escape some of the monotony that is LA. This song was written as a kind of love/hate letter to LA because it has been my home my whole life.The essence of the city is such a part of me and I wanted the video to capture that, and I think it does.”
Fans can look forward to two further singles from Daily, both of which will be released before the end of the year.
