D’yani reveals “Miss You Bad”

A trailblazer in his own right, Jamaican poet and singer-songwriter D’Yani has announced his highly anticipated forthcoming album “Live Life & Prosper” out August 21st and is enticing fans with what’s to come from the 12-track album with the release of his new single “Miss You Bad”

It’s the follow up to “Journey” which was released at the beginning of June, alongside an acoustic choir live session which sat exclusively on Grammy’s Global Spin to give a different perspective and rendition.

“Miss You Bad” is a completely different direction from “Journey”, steeped in true vulnerability, sadness and reflection from D’Yani. A true love song that connects love with being a high, heartbreak and emotions that are relatable to us all. Housing a more laid-back reggae beat with an infectious percussion, it’s accompanied by a sensual music video of D’Yani with his lover, and the trials and tribulations of missing someone so badly, even if they are bad for you.

When asked about the single D’Yani said: “My intention for the song was to capture the emotional pain of missing someone so deeply that their absence feels like withdrawal from an addictive substance. Through its repeated references to being “hooked,” craving a “high,” and “relapsing”, it portrays an unhealthy attachment where love becomes a dependency rather than a source of comfort, within the lyrics there is imbedded a subtle sense of Stockholm syndrome, as my aim for the listener is to recognise the relationship’s harmful effects yet continues yearning for the very person causing the pain. Despite knowing the attachment is unhealthy, there is an overwhelming desire to return, making the emotions feel both heartbreaking and relatable. Overall, I try to paint a powerful picture of love, obsession, vulnerability, and the struggle between wanting to let go and being unable to break free from an emotional bond.”
