Listen to Dani in Public’s lovelorn new Leverage EP

Philly indie pop artist Dani in Public, formerly danimakesmusic, recently released Leverage, a new featuring songs about romantic relationships with a combination of metaphors and slice-of-life lyrics. There are mellow, mid tempo, electronic hip hop beats on each track, which speak to the cross over of hip hop in recent years. Dani half raps, half sings through each track, with treble filled, sleepy vocals.

A stand out track from the EP is the song “Muse”; it features a blend of soothing mid-range synths, sharp snare beats and Dani in Public’s signature vocals. The lyrics confidently present their limited level of emotional availability with lines like “Fuck your troubles, just be happy that I’m here” and “Not enough but I’ll give it all I got / I know you hate it when I keep looking at the clock // But I’m here.”
