‘Darling’ is a significant track in the short history of Jali Mudd, credited as the track that sparked the formation of the duo, the track is a perfect advertisement for their their bittersweet and nostalgic sound.

Melding warm, colourful melodies with thoughtful, often more bleak lyrics, the track creates a jarring juxtaposition that highlights the best of both aspects. The track manages to be sufficiently bouncy and enticing in spite of its often sinister and sad detailing of a relationship in free-fall, while also carrying this emotional depth effortlessly in spite of the aforementioned pep that the tracks music has.

‘Darling’ is a track that has tonnes of emotional depth and layers to it, but at its forefront is a synthy, nogstalic new wavey pop sound that is sure to entice and inspire you upon hearing it. We look forward to seeing where the duo take this sound and what comes next.
