Singer-songwriter Dylan J made waves with his last single “Notice Me,” a duet with Ruel. With his latest single “Before It Started,” Dylan is showing us what he can do on his own. Spoiler alert: it’s pretty fantastic. It’s a more upbeat pop track than his previous effort, but it shines just as brightly.
“Only on rare occasions do I find that songs write themselves and ‘Before It Started’ was one of them,” he said. “I’m almost certain I wrote this entire song in around 45 minutes. I was experiencing a deep sadness and disappointment from a relationship that ended before it had the chance to become a relationship, one I felt so confident about. So this song had to be written, purely for me to process what I was feeling at the time.”
“Before It Started” gives us our latest taste of Dylan J’s forthcoming EP “4 Songs I Made in California,” which drops on May 19. If recent releases are any indication, it’ll be well worth a listen.
