Rotterdam-based artist and songwriter Daimy Lotus shares her newest single ‘Silence Me (To Death)’. Daimy broke down the gates of 2023 with her release ‘1st Class D-Bag’, which according to Pictor Magazine put “Daimy Lotus firmly in the spotlight as one of the fiercest songwriters on the block right now”. But also online tastemaker Alfitude has been talking with lots of praise about Daimy Lotus’ project calling her “one of the Netherlands’ most promising new musical exports”.
In this explosive poprock banger, Daimy Lotus puts up a big middle finger to one of the most famous forms of gaslighting, where the manipulator won’t tell you you’re unworthy but they sure do make you feel like you are: the silence treatment. With this song, Daimy proves yet again to be a consistent and captivating force in the world of pop and alternative music.
“Most people think this is a love song when I first play it to them but it’s actually about a very good friend of mine in college who chose to ignore me over actually communicating with me whenever we had an argument. It absolutely made my blood boil every time it happened because not feeling seen or heard by people (especially those I consider important), is one of my biggest triggers. Now, 7 years later, all the anger that had built up during this toxic friendship has finally been released, in this song. Writing Silence Me helped me finally get over it and helped me heal further. I hope whoever struggles with these triggers too, will feel empowered after hearing this song and hopefully they realize it’s a waste of time to put the slightest amount of energy in people that do not make you feel seen or heard because you ARE worthy.”
With her songs already seeing support from radio (3FM, Radio 2, KINK) and TV (XITE), Spotify, who have added her tracks to their New Music Friday NL, Fresh Pop, Fresh Hits, Love or hate emo rock, Equal Netherlands playlists and more, plus inclusion in editorial playlists on Apple Music and online tastemaker support including 1883 Magazine, Euphoria, Earmilk, Enfnts Terribles, The Official Charts UK, The Honey Pop, Pictor Magazine, Lefuturewave and more, Daimy Lotus is bursting onto the scene with her upbeat, exciting pop, carving a lane for her playful, alluring sounds.
Writing about themes of heartbreak, mental health and self growth, Daimy Lotus’ punchy sounds and powerful hooks make for an addictive listen. An advocate of inclusion sees Daimy’s music accommodating and connecting with people who experience life in a variety of ways, ensuring that everyone feels both seen and heard. Citing inspiration from artists such as YUNGBLUD and GAYLE, Daimy’s clean-cut, raw pop navigates the alternative pop world with ease. Settling easily into the ears of any pop/alternative lover, Daimy’s relatable and playful tunes are a force to be reckoned with.
With a release scheduled every 6 weeks and a second tour planned this year, there’s a lot more to follow from this poprock sensation from the Netherlands so keep your eyes and ears open!
