The rising artist shines on the first release from her upcoming second EP.
On ‘Giving Tree’, the first single from her upcoming second EP, dalloway is looking to weed out all of the people in her life who just seem to take without giving and bleed you emotionally dry, and in the process, has released a rousing and cathartic track that tonnes of listeners are sure to relate to and resonate with.
The colourful, quirky nature of the artist’s sound feels endlessly captivating here, providing a fun backdrop for what is essentially the artist at her most fierce and unapologetic, shying away from her history as a people pleaser and taking a stand “weeds”. This defiant stance and the melodic, memorable nature of the soundscape makes for a track that feels almost anthemic in style, echoing a powerful sentiment and message while crafting an enamouring, unique electro-pop bop in the process. ‘Giving Tree’ is as ambitious and creative as it is fun, and bodes extremely well for the artist’s forthcoming sophomore EP that it will be a part of.
“Did you know the common daisy is a weed?” dalloway says of the track. “Pretty, but it sucks the life out of whatever’s trying to grow around it. Giving Tree is about being a recovering people pleaser/eldest daughter. A magnet for one sided friendships where all the other person does is bleed you emotionally dry. Time to weed those people out.”
