Dani Hagan doesn’t feel Like That about you in her emotionally charged new single and video — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
A raw exploration of unrequited love fuelled by heartfelt songwriting and powerful vocals, the L.A. singer-songwriter’s intoxicating new single was co-written with guitarist Aaron Medina. The track delivers a gut-wrenching exploration of unreciprocated love, with dynamic guitar riffs and explosive drums, amplifying the song’s gripping, anthemic quality.
Following her previously released single Deeper, Hagan continues to showcase her versatility as an artist, effortlessly merging soulful rock rhythms with poetic lyrics. Like That confronts the complexity of loving someone who doesn’t reciprocate the same intensity, with Hagan showcasing her edgy, rock-infused sound.
“Like That is about one person loving harder than the other. I originally wrote it from his perspective, trying to understand why he doesn’t love me like that, which made for an unusual challenge for me. But there’s a surprise ending where I reveal my truth and let my secret shine through,” Hagan explains.
The song’s rhythm propels the track with a perfect balance of controlled restraint and bursts of explosive energy, amplifying the passionate highs and lows in the track. The accompanying music video, filmed by Jeremy Eichenbaum in Pulse Recording Studio, captures the evolution of the track from its acoustic beginnings to an energized jam session with Hagan’s band. As the video progresses, her poignant vulnerability is expressed in a stirring solo moment where the perspective shifts, reflecting the lyrical surprise of the song. Like That was produced by Mikal Blue (OneRepublic, Jason Mraz, Colbie Caillat) at Revolver Recordings.
Originally from Grand Forks, N.D., Hagan’s unique blend of soulful rock has advanced her career as a rising star in Los Angeles’s dynamic music scene. With vocals that are both commanding and vulnerable, her music blends acoustic and electric elements, enhancing the emotional impact of her lyrics and authentic storytelling skills. Her gift for performance and songwriting, boosted by her synesthesia, has led to sold-out shows at renowned venues like The Viper Room, Troubadour and Whisky a Go Go.
