daine announces debut project Quantum Jumping, shares single New Ground

Fresh from a 2021 Oli Sykes collab, emo-pop artist daine has announced her debut mixtape, Quantum Jumping, and dropped a new single.

Following a huge 2021 – which included collaborating with Oli Sykes and getting the approval of Charli XCX – daine is continuing to build momentum with the release of her debut mixtape, Quantum Jumping.

Due out on March 18, the record was many years in the making and is a 'chronological timeline of the very first songs she wrote at the age of 16', described by daine as a "tombstone to her adolescence".

As another teaser of what's to come from it, the emo-pop artist has shared the single New Ground – listen below:

In a 2021 interview with NME, daine explained of the genre-defying music she makes: “All the songs that are out at the moment I wrote when I was 15 or 16, and I’m definitely finding my feet. With the next few songs that I’m releasing, I wrote them when I was young but I’ve carried them with me and really refined them. They’re still in the same world as what’s come before, but I think these next few months are going to define the rest of my career. No-one else is making music like this. It’s this whole new wave and I’ve never heard music like it. Some people might say it’s nostalgic but to me, it’s a whole new genre.”
