The track ignites the next chapter for the sonic maverick. Luminous synths, handclapping beats, and electro swagger soundtrack a lush love letter to the suburbs on "Heart Shaped Culdesac." His lyrical nostalgia and a sweeping chant evince both pop ambition and clever charisma all at once.
"I was driving home through my neighborhood, and the phrase 'Heart Shaped Cul De Sac' came to me out of nowhere, so I wrote it down," Daye Jack recalls. "I'd been saving it for a track. One day, I decided to create an homage to friends and family life. The phrase clicked perfectly. Now, the song is about relationships in suburbia, loving the fact I'm home, and the desire to stay there."
In conjunction with the new music release, The FADER has premiered the exclusive new mini-documentary Suburban Weekend, praising Daye Jack for his "nimble" and "genre-curving" aesthetic. Check out the documentary HERE.
Equally inspired by his formative years in Nigeria and moving from Los Angeles back to his teenage home of Duluth, Georgia, Daye Jack presents an unheard story, style, and sound that blissfully blurs the lines between pop, hip-hop, and alternative with one knockout hook after another. After signing his publishing to producer extraordinaire Max Martin and inking a high-profile deal with Warner Bros. Records, a pair of EPs-Soul Glitch [2015] and Surf the Web [2016]-dramatically accelerated his journey. He toured alongside Lukas Graham and K.Flay, while joining forces with everyone from Killer Mike and Denzel Curry to Tori Kelly and Tove Lo for collaborations.
"Heart Shaped Culdesac" introduces his second full-length, Black To The Culdesac. Moving back to his hometown of Duluth after a two-year stint in Los Angeles, he wrote and recorded the album throughout 2017. Influenced by late-night drives around his neighborhood listening to classic jazz or immersing himself in favorite anime flicks and eye-opening TED Talks, he unlocked an inimitable aural palette rooted in pop expanse and hip-hop lyricism. That adventurousness provided foundation for him to offer up yet another perspective and all new story for the culture.
