Daisy The Great x AJR

Brooklyn, NY’s indie pop duo Daisy The Great have signed with S-Curve Records and recorded a brand new version of their single "Record Player" with New York labelmates AJR. Incorporating the hook from Daisy The Great’s 2017 release “The Record Player Song,” the new track is a hook-laden jam about finding identity and the growing pains of early adulthood. The chorus of “The Record Player Song” became the object of an ongoing TikTok “one breath challenge,” with fans singing the infectious hook in more than 20 thousand videos, viewed over 270 million times. Jack Met of AJR heard the song through TikTok and connected with Daisy The Great to collaborate on a new song built around the existing hook. "Record Player" arrives alongside a captivating and delightful new animated music video by Yuval Haker, featuring both Daisy The Great and AJR. 

Daisy The Great had this say about the track, "Our new song "Record Player (with AJR)" incorporates the hook of our song ‘The Record Player Song,’ which is actually the first track we ever released as Daisy The Great! The song is about a struggle for identity, impostor syndrome, and finding yourself stuck in a version of yourself that you created." 

AJR said, "This has never happened to us before, but we came across this Daisy The Great chorus, and thought it was the catchiest thing we’d ever heard. We thought if we could team up with the artists behind that hook and build a new song using the existing hook as the basis, it could be something pretty special." 

Daisy The Great consists of Kelley Nicole Dugan and Mina Walker. Mina and Kelley started writing music together in 2016. The band has released a 2019 album, I’m Not Getting Any Taller and a 2020 EP entitled Soft Songs. Additional new tracks from Daisy The Great’s forthcoming album are expected later in 2021. 

S-Curve Records Founder/CEO Steve Greenberg added, “I’m so excited to welcome Daisy The Great to the S-Curve family. I’ve been a big fan of theirs for a while, and I just love the fresh take on human existence found in their lyrics, which meld the profound and the whimsical. Plus, their amazing vocal harmonies, catchy hooks, and innovative arrangements-- all of which add up to a unique musical treat.”

Daisy The Great and AJR are touring together throughout September.
