With a unique sound that pushes creative boundaries, his artistry is making waves in the industry and enchanting listeners across the globe. Today, donny. has just released his latest single, ‘claim the kill!’ produced by Tristus Boyd.
Speaking about the track, donny. states, “I initially just made the instrumental bits, not knowing what it’s going to be about. After receiving the guitar parts at the start of the song, everything began to fall into place with the lyrics and vocals. I wrote it just for fun, but it became something bigger.”
This song was mixed and mastered by long-time collaborator Tristus Boyd. donny. says on working with Tristus, “Most of this song was produced by me except the guitar parts at the start. Tristus Boyd came through as usual. And he also mixed and mastered it, so he put in a great deal of work on this, too!”
donny. believes the song can be interpreted in various ways, saying, “With this one, I want to keep it as vague as possible to let the listener have their conclusion. It’s about all of us, and it vaguely talks about something that hits close to home for me. I’d say the song will decide for you. I wouldn’t say I want anyone to think of something certain. Just listen and draw your conclusion. Or don’t think about it and enjoy the song.”
