dayaway Dives Into Summer Romances With Beachy Single “hot blue summer”
Summer is coming. And as you lounge on the beach in a heat wave, toes in the sand, watching the ocean, there’s a song to match the mood.
“hot blue summer,” dayaway’s new single, describes summer’s many possibilities, including relationships. Hot summer romances are fast approaching with the rising temperature, but they’re bound to end. These summer loves might drift away with the tide, but dayaway just goes with the flow and is open to the experience.
Hot blue summer baby
Hot cruel summer daydream
Heartbreaks on the horizon
But i don’t care
I just wanna have fun, yeah
~ “hot blue summer”
dayaway, the indie-pop project made up of Amber Renee and Graham Marsh of CLAVVS, didn’t disappoint with this chill song. It has “warm surf rock energy” and the song feels like golden hour and sunkissed skin. This indie tune might be the sound of the summer for all those looking for love, even if it’s just for the season.
The single was released alongside an official lyric video, which was filmed and edited by dayaway itself. With a fun color palette reminiscent of retro vibes and a grainy, aesthetic filter, “hot blue summer” is just as appealing visually as it is sonically. Lyrics pop out of a megaphone alongside a retro-style portable radio and dial phones. The video is fun and groovy — everything you could wish for in a summer track.
Amber Renee loves the ocean. So over many afternoons at the beach, she lets listeners in on her intimate experiences of love and loss, told through a summer story. Working with four-time Grammy winner Graham Marsh, the power indie-pop duo is making big waves in the genre. With its 2022 self-titled debut EP and singles like “beach 90th” and “desert island,” dayaway is keeping up its reputation for all things dreamy.
Released March 7, “hot blue summer” also lines up with the anniversary of dayaway’s first release, “cool water.” Now a year later, the pop project has amassed almost 100,000 monthly listeners and millions of streams across tracks.
