Daniel Blume Releases New Single “On The Side”

Following on from Daniel Blume’s impressive collection of ‘sad songs that bang’ which had an enormous response from his fans, the instrumentalist, writer, vocalist and producer has now released his new single “On The Side” which is the very first track to be announced from his forthcoming new EP.

The release will fully allow his voice to be heard, as he pushes his art and talented skills to new heights and steps into the spotlight as an unstoppable artist. His story-driven debut is forged out of an experience of heartbreak and challenging times and begins with the emotive club-ready single “On The Side” which can now be heard over on YouTube.

Daniel is one of the most exciting breakout artists in his native home town of Ireland, beginning with the release of his very own singles “Nights Like This”, “Catch Feelings” and “Heartbreaker” all the way to collaborating with the industry’s biggest well-known names including a global hit with Cheat Codes “Who’s Got Your Love” which has racked over 90 million global streams as well as being at the top of the US dance charts.

Blume’s energetic production style and natural knack for a soaring pop chorus has rewarded him with comparisons to Calvin Harris and The Chainsmokers, as well as earning the likes of MTV, RTÉ and The Sunday Times. With song writing credits for Ella Henderson and an acclaimed remix of Dermot Kennedy’s hit single “Giants” showcasing his versatility, it’s only a matter of time before his own shimmering, emotional bangers become chart fixtures.

Daniel says, “On The Side was born at a time I’d been going through an experience where I was being played and strung along by somebody, and I wanted to try and channel that emotion into a really condensed and snappy vocal hook. It sat on my laptop for 2 years because I didn’t know what to do with it and then fast forward to now, it ended up being one of the key pillars that led me to discovering my sound as an artist, so it had to be the song that led this new era of my career!”

Given his talent for creating modernist dance, Blume’s background may come as a surprise. His classical music journey, where he earned a place at the world-renowned Yehudi Menuhin School, studying guitar and piano all funded via a scholarship set up by The Rolling Stones. At the age of 15, Daniel won the BBC’s Young Composer of the Year Award, and a glittering career in the world of classical music seemed to be his destiny. But by that point, Blume was already enamoured by the world of electronic music, with Martin Garrix’s “Animals” being the track that rewrote his future.
