TAIWANESE artiste Everydaze has released his debut English album Daze, which captures raw emotions through melodic storytelling and real-life inspiration.
Notable tracks from the album include I Can’t Feel, One Call, Evil Gemini and I Know I’m.
Focus track I Know I’m is a duet with rising singer-songwriter Andr. The song explores themes of love and self-doubt, showcasing the seamless blend of Everydaze’s production and Andr’s vocals.
Everydaze and Andr met at a creative camp, where they quickly admired each other’s musical talents and later discovered they were high school alumni. Andr described I Know I’m as a masterpiece, strengthened further by their shared ideas, making it a great collaboration.
The album Daze draws its title from Richard Linklater’s iconic film Dazed and Confused, a story about high school students grappling with uncertainty about their future.
For Everydaze, the album became a reflection of his own realisations that life is not as simple as it once seemed. He came to understand that uncertainty is ever-present, with life’s unpredictable moments often catching us off guard.
Daze serves as Everydaze’s self-introduction by encapsulating the core concept of each track. It explores the questions he asks himself at night, the life answers he stumbles upon, the long-distance complaints, and the endless self-conversations.
I Can’t Feel touches on the struggles of prolonged limerence, an intense feeling that blurs the line between affection and attachment to the situation.
