Dye Hard Releases New Single ‘Change Up’
New R&B songstress, Dye Hard has released her new single ‘Change Up’, the second single on her debut EP “DYMOND”. The follow up to her last single ‘Don’t Know Us’ is equally captivating and features playful but candid lyrics reminiscent to classic 90’s r&b artists such as Brandy, Monica and Aaliyah.”Don’t change up, don’t change up on me never,” the Detriot, Mi based beauty croons on the infectious harmony. ‘Change Up’ is not only an ode to any woman who has experienced the trials and tribulations of hoping a man they like doesn’t change, but it is also a summer banger! Dye Hard is exactly what the industry is lacking as she is a powerful vocalist with equally powerful stories to tell that will resonate with the young, modern woman. She is just getting started and plans to release more singles off the EP but until then ‘Change Up’ is easily a tune to become hooked to!

While the full-bodied production reminds me of the seven-piece New Zealand band, Fat Freddy’s Drop.” Indie Shuffle furthers “it’s an absolute belter. A super chilled slow jam with effortless groove.”

She was a sailor all her life, which inspired the line ‘She is calling me, come on home, steer the wheel along.’ The whole experience made me think of home and all the forms it can take. The life I am building for myself is home, my childhood and the shared history I have with my family is home, my body is my home and I’m actually just a visitor here.”

“This song is about how other countries can’t be trusted at looking after their own belongings. What better way to express this than using a slide whistle and swear words.” Eat The Evidence
A satirical account of the artistic trappings of the British Empire set to supercharged-ska, ‘Fruit Of The Loot’ is a tongue-in-cheek yet brutally honest address to all those nations, from Greece to Chile and beyond, whose prized cultural artefacts have been pilfered for exhibits in UK museums and galleries. It’s all set to an astonishingly agile brew of agit-ska – all dubby bass, fiesta beats and, yes, that is a slide-whistle solo. The video captures the band dressed as colonialists, visiting the stolen artefacts at the British Museum.

With a poorly-timed text notification, the Adrian Per-directed visual encapsulates the iPhone era beautifully, and is a unique take on the classic “love story” music video.
