    uniE603 DA’RRELL - Love is Blind
    ‘Love is Blind’ - A lesson I wish I hadn’t learnt through heartbreak, but a lesson needed. From the experience I drew from the relationship I had with my ex, I came to the conclusion I only had about one heartbreak left in me and I squeezed out every last bit of hopeless longing into this track. Some days I can look it at as a beauty that came from the depths of my soul, because it shows my capacity to feel and experience the beautiful gift of love and trust and other days I loathe the experience completely and hate how it tore me into pieces. Piece by piece hopefully drifting to the head of my former lover as she sleeps, so I can feel a sense of peace within myself that somewhere out there wherever she is, she still cares about me. music vocal soundtrack songwriting…
    uniE603 DA’RRELL - I Met You
    This track is my favorite among all those I’ve created and is part of my most recent workings. It’s the greatest piece of self reflective work I’ve done in my entire life, because it encompasses the journey I had with my ex partner so perfectly that I’m able to imagine myself in those small instances that made all the difference. When I think of this song I can always remember the way she used to look at me like I was the most important thing that mattered in the moment and I guess I was. It’s a blessing and curse seeing as though she’s not with me anymore, but even being able to express myself in a manner that’s so simplistic and yet complex always brings a smile to my face. It’s like a mirror being held up to your face every time you catch a listen. You notice something new or old with each glance. music vocal soundtrack songwriting…
    uniE603 Casanova Boys Freestyle
    In a time of uncertainty and overcrowding opinions, I created the Casanova Boys freestyle out of the frustration I felt from people’s perceptions of me taking a foothold over my life. Everybody has their own truth, but no one ever leaves a space to hear mine. Everybody thinks they’ve got the key, but no one’s really opened what’s locked deep inside. Everybody thinks that they know me, but they’re not too sure of themselves sometimes. So that’s why I always gotta be me, cuz I can’t live nobody else’s life but mine. vocal music soundtrack songwriting…
    uniE603 CAPE TOWN -DA’RRELL
    This is an anthemic and triumphant song, with its boastful trumpet sounds coming from the instrumental, you can imagine yourself charging onto a field with thousands of fans cheering your name on as you make your strut to the center stage. This theme is emphasized more heavily in the lyrics by resonating with listeners about achieving a dream that’s so far out of reach but yet so close to completion, whilst taking into account some self reflection about how other people’s perceptions play into your mental game. With its Drill inspired influence, the track is always bound to get you moving which is why it’s such a great workout track. music vocal soundtrack songwriting…
    uniE603 The City Freestyle
    Troubling times call for melancholic rhymes and this track has no shortage of them. Inspired by the syncopated downbeat of the Toronto style flow coined by Drake, I tactfully challenged my penmanship to produce something that was real and resonates with the struggles of daily life, whilst also leaving some space for some groove in between all the bewildering consciousness. One of my favorite pieces written by me from my heart to the mic. It’s the confidence booster I need when I feel like giving up and most importantly it’s my everlasting story. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. music vocal soundtrack songwriting…
    uniE603 Missed Calls - DA’RRELL
    They say you can never predict when a storm is truly coming but I’d beg to differ. ‘Missed Calls’ is about the anticipation before that breakup that’s about to happen, from the small signs that the love is fizzling out. From those missing ‘good morning’ texts to the lack of communication to inflated egos, ‘Missed Calls’ is really about reaching that ‘f*k it’ moment where you decide to respect your peace, pack your things and find the next best thing out there. music vocal soundtrack songwriting…
    uniE603 Glow - DA’RRELL
    ‘Glow’ by DA’RRELL As vibrant and flowing as the title suggests, this song is an etching of a moment in time filled with great uncertainty but gleeful hope and light about a potential love interest. Included on the list as one of my best singles yet, I drew inspiration for this song from a friend that I was heavily infatuated with at the time but never fully expressed feelings towards. I spent most of my nights and days creating scenarios in my head about an imaginary relationship where the two of us could have been happy, and all that wistful pining went into creating this masterpiece. From writing the lyrics to singing it out to performing it, she was my greatest muse. music vocal soundtrack songwriting…
