Watch the video for dark-pop newcomer Daine’s debut single “Picking Flowers”
Filipino-Australian singer Daine's debut single is assured, polished, and clearly the work of a teenager. "Picking Flowers," premiering above, fuses trap beats, Midwestern emo guitar, and a nihilistically detached voice so seamlessly that it could only have been written by a 17-year-old artist who's grown up hearing those sounds co-exist. It clocks in well under the three-minute mark, barely rising above a croak, its ghostly melody looping like a muffled music box.
