Danica Bryant has shared one last amuse-bouche ahead of her debut album FEAST, with new single and video ‘Narcissist’, featuring fellow Wellingtonian artist Julia Belle!

True to the nature of the Pōneke rising star’s tongue-in-cheek songwriting and catchy pop hooks, ‘Narcissist’ is an intimate and sweet new anthem with a cutting edge. Danica’s effortless vocal talent is once again on display, paired with vulnerable lyrics that shine a light on what it takes to be a star.

“'Narcissist' is about how much ego and self-focus being a musician requires,” explains Danica. “It takes a degree of selfishness to prioritize following your dreams… but we also tend to be the most vulnerable people; which can allow others to vilify and hurt us because we need to be sensitive to pursue this life.”

This release joins the ranks of Danica’s hit singles ‘Acid’ (#2 Hot Aotearoa Singles Chart), ‘Morals’ (TAHI FM, RollingStone AU/NZ, Tearaway) and ‘Buzz’ (The Most FM, 13th Floor, Juice TV) - giving fans one final taste ahead of her debut album FEAST!

Danica’s music has built a loyal grassroots following across the motu, taking her to such heights as opening for Robbie Williams and Elton John, and a successful crowd-funding campaign for FEAST. She’s got the best of both worlds: a polished pop sound, and an unabashedly, authentic approach to songwriting - covering topics of queer sexuality, feminism, and neurodiversity.

“‘Narcissist’ also relates to being on the autism spectrum. It's a song about processing that I can't always answer other people's needs over my own. I hope listeners can relate to that mournful acceptance and understand selfishness isn't always such a terrible thing.”

Bringing to life the bittersweet edge of ‘Narcissist’, this release is accompanied by yet another innovative, DIY music video from Danica and collaborator Tyler Blythe - taking form as a Found Footage style clip.

‘Narcissist’ is a sweet anthem with a cutting edge, that playfully unpacks what it really takes to be a star. Featuring fellow Pōneke rising pop star Julia Belle, the release joins the ranks of Danica’s hit singles ‘Acid’ (#2 Hot Aotearoa Singles Chart, The Hits), ‘Morals’ (TAHI FM, RollingStone AU/NZ, Tearaway) and ‘Buzz’ (The Most FM, 13th Floor, Juice TV).
