Danny’s new song Better
Like That already has fan approval – it was chosen via a VIP zoom party
with 50 participants given the task of selecting one song from four.
The pandemic has certainly
given us a new normal – zoom calls, lowered dress code for work (from home) and
as for getting dressed up to go out – go where?
We are all now more accepting of the sitting around on the couch “in
my t shirt, yesterday’s make up on and a messy bun” – which is also a
comforting image when looking back at the more “ordinary moments” of a
relationship
The
song tells the story of a young man desperate to get
back a woman he truly loves, whilst reminiscing in a pool of visual nostalgia,
those comfortable and intimate memories (although it is just Danny looking dapper in
the artwork!)
Although the girl has moved on in her life, as depicted in her social media postings (the modern barometer of someone’s life). She has crafted herself a new image, but don’t forget he has seen you relaxing and less polished.
“And girl I like you better like that”
Has she really moved on? There are still clues in what she posts, a shared favourite song, memories of a place and time…
He wants her back, but he wants the old her back.
The musical style has changed slightly too – still very much modern country but with a little more studio magic, 80s drum production and smooth guitar. Just like the girl in the story, Danny doesn’t move far from his roots, with a very “Danny” break in the final third as he repeats the chorus with a strong beat – you can see Danny with his hands in the air getting the whole audience clapping along! There is a hint of Thomas Rhett’s “Get Me Some Of That” in some of the imagery and theme behind the story!
If you are playing fantasy festival line ups during lockdown, Danny, with his trademark high energy sound and his way with a crowd of any size must be near the top of your list. Having introduced on stage at two different festivals - Danny, we like you better like that!
Better Like That, the new single from Danny McMahon is available to download and stream from Friday 12 March
You can find and follow Danny on Facebook, Instagram, his website and on Spotify
