Just days after Robyn shared ‘Talk to Me’ as part of a pair of singles from her forthcoming album, Daphni has done the same. Except Daphni’s ‘Talk to Me’, released alongside its bouncier counterpart in ‘Good Night Baby’, has no lyrics, and Dan Snaith’s production is unusually pared-back. (Can you imagine him in the same room as Max Martin?) Listen to both songs below.
“‘Good Night Baby’ is a good illustration of how far a finished track can end up from it’s origin / of how rudderless I am when making music most of the time,” Snaith said in a statement. “This one started out more like the mostly drums only track that you hear towards the end… but somewhere along the way turned into a big mushy loved up track with all the feels.”
“The polar opposite of ‘Good Night Baby’, it’s rare that I manage to keep my tracks as sparse and spare as this one—just wubs, drums, voices and occasionally a little synth melody,” he added. “I didn’t think that this was done until I played it out but on a big soundsystem it struck me that this was all it needed.”
Butterfly, Daphni’s first album since 2022’s Cherry, is out February 6 via Jiaolong.
