Darrian Gerard – “Need Her”

Darrian Gerard’s new single “Need Her” is my favorite track of the day. The British Columbia alt-pop artist teamed up with co-writer and producer Kayla Diamond to craft a song that captures the ache of growing apart from someone while chasing your own path. Influences from Halsey, Avril Lavigne, blink-182, and Alanis Morissette shape the track’s energy and edge, but Darrian keeps the story rooted in their own experiences.

The vocals come across with a confident edge that matches the song’s high-energy feel. This release is also a turning point for Darrian, stepping back from self-production for the first time and trusting another creative to help shape the sound. That collaboration clearly paid off, with the final product carrying the punch and focus of a seasoned team effort, it’s an impressive track that you need to add to your playlist.
