Drawing us in with an enigmatic synth performance and luscious ad libs with a rising frequency, Dara Blaxx opens In My Cup with situational prose as she takes us on an evocative, narrative driven journey.
We appreciate the atmospheric vocal design and the visionary artist’s cadence and charismatic delivery. Speaking on the intention and message of the release, Dara Blaxx confesses, “In My Cup is my first release after a break following my last relationship focused EP and perfectly characterises the energy and outlook I’m coming back with.”
The star adds, “[It’s] energetic, sexy and fun because we outside baby! The experience of losing yourself to the music and the night is an addictive high that I am all too happy to give in to and you’re invited to join in too.”
Elaborating on her artistry, Dara Blaxx says, “I believe in love, authentic expression and most of all enjoyment and I make music that reflects this. It’s always good vibes.”
