Take a Sec

A 1 track soul single (5m 4s) — released May 29th 2020 on Running Circle Records

Featuring intoxicating horns, gospel backing vocals, touches of wurlitzer and Daisy's iconically silky tones. In some ways, Take a sec is a soul track reminiscent of classics from the likes of Etta James and Carol King, but Daisy's delivery gives the tune a fresh contemporary vibe. Detailing the trials of a rollercoaster relationship, the song builds to a crescendo "Don't you come running back. We know it's over now."


The perfect follow-up to Many Shades, this gifted singer's debut single; Take a Sec is a powerhouse that demands attention, with big sounds and bags of attitude. Take a Sec was recorded at Running Circle HQ and is coupled with a video taken from the session. The song was produced by Pete Beardsworth and co-written by Jonni Scott; featuring Jonni Scott [bass], Roshan Gunga [guitar], Tom Towle [drums], Janine Nicole Jacques [backing vocals] and Pete Beardsworth [keys].
