dba JAMES WANTS YOU TO “COMEBACK” TO HIS RESIDENCY AT NYC’S HEAVEN CAN WAIT TONIGHT
April 20, 2023 (New York, NY) – Fresh off the release of his melancholy lofi indie single “45,” dba James is revealing even more of his new era with “Comeback” – listen HERE. Setting his sights on new sounds that expand his sonic palette, the New Yorker has found inspiration in the aughts. Over delicate synths and relaxed beats, we find dba’s sweet and solemn vocals hypnotizing.
On the inspiration behind “Comeback,” James shared, “‘Comeback’ was written in 2020 when time stopped. I was living in my parents' barn in Massachusetts driving an old Ford Ranger. For all that was going on in the world, life was good. I had met this girl who kept talking about moving to Mexico and I was trying to act cool about it, but inside I was wishing that time would continue to be paused. I started to imagine when everyone went back to ‘normal’ life and it made me feel this extreme loneliness. At the time, I was listening to a lot of Justin Timberlake so there is a little JT vibe in there, too.”
To celebrate the release, dba James is returning to New York’s infamous Heaven Can Wait tonight for night two of his residency. Tonight’s show also features Anna Shoemaker and DJ Buffy B2B Nailtech – get your tickets HERE.
His next, and final, Heaven Can Wait residency show is May 18 – but who can wait that long?!
The first one was giving immaculate vibes, so “Comeback” to Heaven Can Wait tonight.
