Darcy Thomas’ latest single, ‘It’s You’, carries 00s pop nostalgia in acoustic guitar chops that lend immediate intimacy before the track swells into an anthemic radio-ready proclamation. Raw rock riffs spike through the chorus, fuelling a heart-in-throat crescendo as the lyrical protagonist lays it all unapologetically on the line.
The emotional intensity strikes hard enough to bruise, providing a bittersweet reminder that fairytale love stories rarely survive off the page, screen, or airwaves. Thomas deliberately avoids neat resolutions, leaving listeners tangled in ambiguity as they root for a protagonist faced with losing the one person who makes them feel whole.
At just eighteen, Darcy Thomas has transitioned from writing his first song at six to crafting his vocal identity under the watchful eye of renowned vocal coach ‘Mama Jan’ Smith, whose clientele famously includes Justin Bieber and Usher. Alongside producer Greg Stace, whose guidance at Ignite Studio in Alexandria has been pivotal, Thomas has shaped a visceral sound ready to capture global attention through its expansive cross-over appeal.
‘It’s You’ is now available to stream on all major platforms via this link.
