DIVE INTO DAYAWAY’S POPPY NEW DAYDREAM SINGLE “CHLORINE”

Summer is just around the corner. The vibes are already here; the sun feels more vibrant, the birds’ songs more resonant. Indie songstress dayaway feeds into this energy perfectly with her poppy new single, “chlorine.” Even if you haven’t dipped your toes into the pool yet, dayaway gets you hyped to do so.

The track is aesthetically pleasing, with harmonic layers stacked perfectly atop each other. Amber Renee’s lighthearted vocal range carries the tune well. There’s an aura of nostalgia about the single, present in every second of it—though I can’t pinpoint exactly what it is. The nostalgic impact doesn’t navigate to one specific period; instead, it takes you back to a feeling.

Renee adds rich texture to the current pop landscape, which often blurs into itself. Her creative choices insinuate that she is not necessarily trying to be different, but achieves such simply by being herself. Sure, the song is cutesy and catchy; still, it’s authentic in its presentation.

“chlorine” is the perfect summer earworm, preparing us for long beach days (with plenty of SPF). Its accompanying music video is equally dreamy, proving that dayaway is ready for long days away on the waves.
