New York singer-songwriter Daniel Mauro drops melodic pop track “Wish You Away,” a laid-back offering carried by his soft vocals and an electro-tinged soundscape built on his trademark DIY sensibilities. With a relatable contemplation on relationships, the heartfelt lyrics usher us out of a honeymoon period and into the reality of being with someone.
A bittersweet production infused with startlingly moments of euphoria, Mauro talks about taking off the rose-coloured glasses in a relationship and finally seeing the flaws, as he finds himself “apologizing for things that I didn't do.” The layered, synth-touched pop sonics are complemented by endearing songwriting, making for a track that you love having on repeat.
Rooted in an intimate message and his powerful yet gentle voice, “Wish You Away” solidifies the indie artist’s niche within pop music led by a natural flair for melodies and lyricism, as he continues to craft his distinctive sound framed by warmth and familiarity.
