\n Briefly giving up ended up marking a new beginning for Tiffany Day. She decided to try on the electronic dance music of her youth and the post-Crystal Castles pop that was finding a footing among Gen Z.<\/a> \u201cI was journaling about it for months,\u201d she says. \u201cI always wanted to belong to a niche and [electronic music] felt like it was calling to me, but it terrified me what [fans and musicians in this genre] would think of me and my music.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Anxiety morphed into drive as she decided to take the reins on her production. She worked alongside her producers \u2014 Jeff Melvin, Niles Forester, and Jack Hallenbeck \u2014 but didn\u2019t hesitate to \u201cdo rather than explain\u201d her ideas. \u201cIt was a continuous journey of feeling like I didn’t have the skills to [produce],\u201d she says. \u201cOne day, I was just like, \u2018I don\u2019t need to keep telling myself that narrative.\u2019 I just sent it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Whereas her music prior to HALO had a trying-this-out quality, the songs of her current era boast clear pop logic. Tracks like \u201cSAME LA<\/a>\u201d and \u201cSTART OVER<\/a>\u201d combine the adolescent angst of an Olivia Rodrigo ballad with the big-feeling sonics of EDM. Alongside the new sound, she adopted a more clearly defined look, part-skater, part-princess, and very online: slouching low-rise pants, an askew cap, over-ear headphones, and layers of colors and prints. She sparked some online attention via a viral On The Radar interview,<\/a> where she performed with a big pink plushie backpack. \u201cI just didn’t want to lose myself when I moved into this [darker electronic] niche,\u201d Day says. \u201cI’m naturally a happy, fun person. Performing with my plushie backpack felt so real and so genuinely me. Your artist project should be who you are, times 30.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
