Track of the Day: Dylan Kearns - 'She's Like a Drug'

Nostalgia is on the menu on today's Track of the Day: Dylan Kearns' debut single, 'She's Like A Drug'.

Full of yearning for a past love, the artist is tired of waking up without his addiction by his side.

"I'd rather feel something than feel nothing at all, 'cause every single minute without you I feel numb," he croons. With layered vocals from Dylan Kearns and electo-pop production techniques from past and present, it's an infectiously catchy tune about intoxication and love.

Drawing inspiration from the '70s and '80s, the infectious synth-infused track chronicles the highs and lows of a relationship, with a wash of lush electronics and soaring electric guitars evoking a sense of nostalgia for the past while carving a pathway into the future.

Having spent the last few years perfecting his craft in bands on the Dublin scene, with 'She's Like a Drug' Dylan Kearns arrives as a fully formed solo artist.

Drawing comparisons to both Bowie and The Weeknd in its sleek retro sound, his debut single offers a hugely promising indication of what is to come. The track was produced by Kearns and David Anthony Curley at The Clinic Recording Studios in Dublin before being mixed by Cormac Butler and mastered by Simon Francis.

All Bandcamp sales from Kearns' new single will go towards Ukraine Defenders, according to his Instagram.
