Tara Nome Doyle soars and surrenders on “Bad Days”

With her latest single, “Bad Days,” Tara Nome Doyle turns emotional fragility into something strangely luminous. Arriving ahead of her new album Ekko, due for release on April 11 via FatCat Records, the Berlin-based artist offers a track that’s both a love song and a quiet act of resistance against despair, disconnection, and the enduring pressure to be “okay.”

Set against a backdrop of gently haunting, delicate instrumentation and Doyle’s unmistakable, spectral vocals, “Bad Days” captures the intimacy of two people weathering the same internal storm. It’s raw and bare but never hopeless. There’s a disarming calm at its core, a kind of poetic acceptance that sits in the lyrics as Doyle sings, “Bad days never felt this good before.”

The accompanying video, which sees Doyle play a modern-day Icarus, only deepens the metaphor. She doesn’t crash in flames; she floats, dazed but serene, her wings not a symbol of failure but of vision. Drawing from selected ancient myths that permeate the full album, this plucked vignette presents the singer and songwriter with a fresh voice and a passion for storytelling through song.

Produced in part by Simon Goff (of Chernobyl and The Joker), “Bad Days” is as minimalist as it is emotionally maximal. If Ekko is Doyle’s attempt to reclaim herself from the echo chamber, then this single is the first beautifully free clear note, sounding wounded but powerfully wise.
