DAYA Releases Lyrically Powerful Pop-Electronic Crossover Single “Don’t Call”
GRAMMY-winning artist DAYA returns with her new single “Don’t Call,” an emotive pop ballad that also finds the young superstar experimenting across genres with electronic production elements. From a vocal perspective, DAYA‘s soulful and ethereal voice shines as she croons the heartfelt (and highly relatable) lyrics about trying your best to get over someone, and the instrumental elements begin with soft, organic chords and grow into a light drum’n’bass influence during the track’s most powerful moments. The American songstress coupled the release of “Don’t Call” with a listening party in Los Angeles on June 27th, the day before its official release. Don’t miss the chance to be among the first to hear “Don’t Call,” which is guaranteed to be receiving heavy radio play this summer.
“‘Don’t Call‘ has had this magical pull ever since we created it and I’m so excited for it to be out. It feels like a song I’ve always wanted to put into the world and a big emotional release for me; I hope people will feel that in the music.” – DAYA

Her self-penned, synth-pop anthem “Hide Away” became a double-platinum, opening the doors to future collaborations, such as the global smash “Don’t Let Me Down” with The Chainsmokers, which further solidified DAYA‘s pop stardom and got her the GRAMMY award in 2017, with the track reaching #3 on the Hot 100 chart. Despite major-label success, DAYA craved creative control. Releasing critically acclaimed EPs, she showcased her evolving sound – a blend of pop, R&B, and electronic influences.

A prolific collaborator, DAYA seamlessly blends genres and extends her infectious energy beyond the studio.
