We recently featured Dani Twice, as he raised awareness on immigration and violence with his single, JUMP, so we were thrilled to hear that the rising artist had just released a new single, BAG MAN.
Setting the tone with a dark and industrial Latin-hybrid frequency with moody synths, subversive horns and hip-hop drums, BAG MAN opens with the vulnerable lyrics, “Fuck a check, fuck the internet, I’m upset, filling me with fears and regret…”
The song expands into an emotional anthem, as Dani begs to be taken far away, whilst he delivers a message for many suffering from anxiety and depression caused for the explosion of the internet and social media.
BAG MAN is Dani Twice’s fifth single from his first, as yet untitled, album. We love the additional energy that collaborator Tony Narvaez brings on the track, as the two artists bounce off each other about “the search for the place where the release and pleasure can be found in this overly connected world, we are living in.”
The overall sonic landscape is bold and triumphant, with an epic Colombian and Latin influence on a dark industrial track, which is often quite rare in the mainstream. The epic bass is referenced in the song as Dani delivers the line “straight earthquake when the bass hit my feet, its nature to me, brain vacation for free”.
We are obsessed with the track and its message about “rejecting the dopamine high that social media and internet validation for the peace of the present moment”. We have added BAG MAN to our New Music Spotlight playlist and cannot wait to hear Dani Twice‘s incoming album!
