“‘Daddy’ marks the return of my braggadocious alter ego, Prosecco Pauli - a relic from my former days as a DJ in New York City. It’s a playful take on money, power and excess, living somewhere between flexing and taking the piss out of the flex. ‘Money talks, but I’m conflicted’ probably sums it up best, enjoying the game while questioning the system we’re all playing in. I’ve also been a fan of VALÉ since her single ‘oop,’ produced by Heavy Mellow, who also produced my first single ‘I Don’t Care,’ so this collaboration feels like a full circle moment.”
