Daisy Pring – Treading Water
Illawarra’s Daisy Pring – an up-and-coming popstar who has previously performed at Qudos Bank Arena at the remarkable age of 15 – has unveiled her debut EP, Treading Water.
Turning up the heat after a string of gorgeous singles, Daisy now introduces listeners to her first ever major project, which covers a series of personal moments and tales revolving around an earth-shaking relationship breakdown.
Treading Water features the singles “Anaesthesia”, “31st of June”, and “Treading Water.”
“Treading Water is a body of work telling the story of how I navigated my way through a devastating breakup. It touches on themes of desperation, longing, obsession, hopelessness, delusion and loss of self worth… I wanted the project to feel as authentic as possible and a journal of my real feelings.” DAISY PRING
In healing, learning, and growing through the heartbreak, Daisy has emerged on the other side with a remarkable arrangement of tracks, and is ready for audiences to connect with each of them just as much as she has.
Working with producer and long-time collaborator Chelsea Warner (Amelia Moore, Ūla, Liyah Knight, Kwame, Tasman Keith) on the record, it then received mixing from Jesse Deskovic (Budjerah, Genesis Owusu, Haiku Hands) and mastering from Matt Fioravanti (Tasman Keith, Kwame, Agung Mango). On the long but cathartic process of building up her EP, Daisy said:
“The process of creating this EP spanned over about a year of sessions and writing. I’ve been doing regular sessions with Chelsea since 2021… after releasing 2 singles in 2022, I was ready to start creating a body of work. After going through a painful breakup in 2022, I knew this would be a lot of the inspiration for writing the EP. Chelsea and I wanted to come up with a track for each of the many emotions that can be felt during a breakup.”
