After establishing herself with a flurry of bright and dynamic offerings over the last few years, Canadian singer-songwriter Darrian Gerard returns once again with her anthemic new single 'Explosion'.
Lifted from her eagerly-awaited new project, which is set to arrive sometime next year, 'Explosion' makes for a brilliantly fun and energetic listen. Channelling more of that blistering pop-punk direction she has been cultivating for herself recently, she is cementing herself as one of the more euphoric emerging artists on the rise right now.
Speaking about the new release, she said, “This song is about not caring if people think you’re moody or ‘cold hearted’ for wanting to be yourself and do things that you want to do. It’s about that point in your day where if someone says one more negative thing or does that thing that bothers you, you’re going to start an explosion. I really wanted to write an upbeat pop-punk song one day, but it wasn’t quite working out. I eventually went to my electric guitar and amp and found this cool tremolo sound and the words just came automatically. I usually write songs with either an idea or a lyric in mind first, but this one came from a pre-set on my guitar amp.”
While she has already made her glittering mark on the scene of late, 'Explosion' still maintains plenty of fresh and exciting ideas throughout. With such a bold and confident approach to her songwriting and production, we can't wait to hear what this new project has in store for us as well.
