In 2023 indie pop duo Daisy the Great continued to develop their refreshing musicality with their highly anticipated EP Tough Kid, the follow-up to last year’s album ALL YOU NEED IS TIME. Filled with fresh offerings, fan favourites and unique re-imaginings, the EP featured everything from ‘Time Machine 2’, delivering a grittier and faster version of their previous hit, to their take on indie sleaze classic ‘Rill Rill’ by Sleigh Bells and a showcase of their own trademark dreamy yet thoughtful sound with ‘Looking U Up’. Managing to carve out a space for themselves in the indie pop space with their inspiring ability to wrap up complex themes in breezy soundscapes and a comforting touch of simplicity, Daisy The Great are worth keeping on your radar. -Malvika Padin
