Daschenka Project recently released a single titled “Spinning Round”, and according to Dascha, “We all know those arguments where you go round in circles and can’t reach a consensus”.
In this song, the Basel singer Dascha Lüscher has put the pain of the never-ending discussions in her failed marriage into the song.
“Spinning Round” is not a melancholic ballad, however, but a contemporary soul with an earthy groove and a sound reminiscent of Jamiroquai, with the guitar solo by guitarrero Jean-Pierre Von Dach (playing with Joss Stone in Europe) coming along with a load of blues rock.
Dascha tells her story freshly and freely in a warm, charismatic voice, garnishing the chorus with rich polyphonic vocals, a deep passion of Dascha’s.
According to Dascha, “The world doesn‘t offer much cause for hope right now: after the pandemic follows a war in the middle of Europe, climate catastrophe is
looming, and many of us are falling into a vague sadness”.
Therefore, Daschenka Project sets a counterbalance to this contemporary melancholy: the
groovy, earthy music creates fertile ground for lightness, on which Dascha Lüscher talks in a charismatic, warm voice about the things in life that we all encounter: about rampant consumerism and self-optimization, about secret desires and hide-and-seek, of pointless conflicts that lead nowhere, of hardened fronts and the desire for more harmony, in short: of injury and healing, of pain and pleasure.
“Spinning Round” is a song that fits well in the current times, where we often get lost in heated debates and conflicts with no consensus in sight – but at the same time leaves you with such a sunny and feel-good feeling that you’re guaranteed to let it go during the next argument.”
