Following the success of two EPs, multiple charting singles, a headline tour, Boosted campaign and opening slots for Robbie Williams and Elton John, Aotearoa rising star Danica Bryant has today released her new pop-rock hit, Acid!

An exciting, gritty and high-energy track, Acid is laced with a chunky bassline, driving guitars and powerhouse vocals reminiscent of the artist’s experiences head-banging at high school rock band gigs in the Hawkes Bay. “I wanted to create a vibe as fierce as theirs - but still performable solo, which is a tough line to walk!”

Lyrically, Acid is all about queer sexuality. Think bubblegum pop-princess meets sexy vampiress and they make a 2000's pop-rock banger.“ LGBT+ relationships are so frequently softened to cutesy romances to make them more palatable to straight audiences,” says Danica, “but this can make it hard for us to accept the parts of ourselves that also crave sexual connection and intimacy. I wanted to make a song that celebrates those wild feelings, and hope [the young queer community] take a sense of joy and possibility from the song, realizing they too can have all of the intense, fun experiences the rest of the world is granted.”
