The track is the artist’s first release since dropping her 2023 EP Basement Stadium
Following the release of her excellent debut EP Basement Stadium last year, Darrian Gerard has showcased the next evolution in her cutting edge pop rock sound in the form of her soaring new single ‘Villain’, a melodic and raw new track that continues to highlight the distinctive appeal and charm that the Canadian artist possesses.
The track has an introspective feel to it throughout, with a narrative that explores themes like self-discovery and defiance as she embraces sometimes having to be the bad guy in other people’s stories. The catchiness of the artist’s sound feels irresistible on the new single, melding crunching guitars with her expressive vocal delivery to craft a style that feels modern while paying homage to sounds of the 2000s and 90s. It truly feels like we are seeing an artist evolving and coming into her own in real time with Darrian, and each new release from the artist promises to be more exciting and packed full of more charismatic flair than the last.
