Donny. kickstarts the new year with his most ambitious single to date, “let ur clip,” a bold and self-assured statement that signals a clear evolution in both sound and intent. Originally from Hungary and now residing in Galway, Donny. continues to carve out a distinct lane for himself, blending introspective lyricism with a confident, forward-facing energy that feels both personal and universal.

Written and produced in collaboration with fellow Galway artist Earl Gasket, “let ur clip” thrives on chemistry. The track feels meticulously constructed yet instinctive, balancing polish with rawness in a way that mirrors Donny.’s artistic identity. From the opening moments, there’s a sense of momentum, an understated tension that gradually unfolds, pulling the listener deeper into Donny.’s world.

The song leans into themes of release, self-belief, and unapologetic expression. The title itself suggests a shedding of hesitation, an invitation to let go of restraint and move with purpose. Donny.’s delivery is calm but assured, never overreaching, allowing the words to sit comfortably in the pocket of the production. There’s a quiet confidence here that feels earned rather than forced.

Earl Gasket’s production plays a crucial role in shaping the track’s atmosphere. The soundscape is immersive without being overcrowded, giving Donny.’s vocals room to breathe while still maintaining a strong emotional undercurrent. Subtle textural shifts and well-placed details keep the track engaging throughout, rewarding repeat listens and revealing new layers each time.

What makes “let ur clip” stand out is its sense of intent. It doesn’t feel like a transitional release or a warm-up, it feels like a declaration. Donny. isn’t experimenting aimlessly, he’s refining his vision. The collaboration with Earl Gasket feels less like a feature and more like a shared creative mission, rooted in the growing Galway scene that continues to punch above its weight.

Ultimately “let ur clip” is a confident step forward for Donny., marking the start of the year with clarity and ambition. It’s a track that signals growth without losing authenticity, positioning Donny. as an artist to watch closely in the months ahead.

‘let ur clip.’ starts of the new year with a 7.5 out 10

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
