Daisy Harris kicks off 2024 with a bang through her latest single ‘Good Fight’, a track that firmly establishes her as a rising star in the indie-pop scene. Hailing from Manchester and drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists like Mazzy Star, The Smashing Pumpkins, and The Lemonheads, Daisy continues to refine her unique brand of genre-fluid music.
‘Good Fight’ is an energetic and upbeat track that captures Daisy’s evolution as an artist. Recorded in her Manchester flat and mastered by Lewis Morter, the song showcases her impressive multi-instrumental talents and knack for crafting emotionally resonant music. With jagged guitars and dissonant percussion, the track creates a dynamic soundscape that mirrors the narrative tension of romantic rivalries from her university days.
The song opens with a burst of sassy, almost spoken-word vocals, reminiscent of Olivia Rodrigo and Avril Lavigne’s girl-pop prowess. Daisy’s lyrical prowess shines as she lists the traits she dislikes about her subject, culminating in a powerful declaration: “If you kill me off / get ready to be haunted.” This raw and unfiltered approach channels the ferocity of Miley Cyrus’s ‘7 Things’, delivering a punchy and memorable chorus that lingers long after the track ends.
‘Good Fight’ is described as a “super fun, summery song” and it certainly delivers on that promise. The vibrant energy and catchy hooks make it an infectious listen, while the underlying themes of competition and adoration add depth and complexity. The song stands out as a testament to Daisy’s ability to blend heartfelt storytelling with engaging musical arrangements.
Publications like Our Sound Music and The Indiependent highlight Daisys crucial voice in the indie scene and her organic musical alchemy. ‘Good Fight’ reinforces these accolades, showcasing Harris’s ability to seamlessly blend vocals, piano, and guitar into a cohesive and compelling sound.
Following a successful 2023, marked by the well-received ‘Fish Tank’ EP and the emotive single ‘The Way I Live My Life’, ‘Good Fight’ continues Harris’s undeniable upward trajectory. The track not only reflects her growth as an artist but also hints at an exciting larger project on the horizon.
‘Good Fight’ is a standout track that combines soaring vocals, insistent instrumentation, and poignant lyrics to create a powerful and memorable listening experience. Daisy Harris has once again proven her musical prowess, and with this release, she cements her place as a significant voice in the indie-pop landscape. As she continues to evolve and push boundaries, Daisy is undoubtedly an artist to watch in 2024 and beyond.
