Written for Kurrent Music

Daya blog
Not all that long ago, I considered writing about Daya when she had released ‘Hide Away’, but I think someone else here at Kurrent Music had already beaten me to the punch, so I never wrote the blog.
At that time, I was already triggered by her song, “Sit still, look pretty”, which was released as a teaser for her EP. The song just reminded me of someone who told me to do exactly that, and the discovery that, like Daya, I’m not that kind of girl either. So, I’m absolutely excited about the fact that Daya has released the track as her latest single, even though I wouldn’t probably have taken too much notice of the track if it weren’t for that connection.
Just before the weekend, she uploaded the video for the song and it’s every female artist’s dream. Lots of outfits, lots of looks, who could beat that?! Just one major dress up party. But it is all with a point, though. While the people around her are pulling the strings, she’s raising a very good point that she wants more out of life than to sit down and look pretty.
