In her most ambitious release to date, British Columbia's Darrian Gerard invites listeners on a raw and emotional journey with her new single, "Need Her." From the very first notes of its simmering, stripped-back verse, Gerard's voice reaches through the speakers, drawing you into the ache of lost love.
Co-written and produced by Kayla Diamond, "Need Her" expertly balances intimacy and grandeur. The verses feel confessional, quiet, and vulnerable, as if Gerard is whispering her pain directly into your ear. Then, the chorus bursts open with a cinematic sweep that feels like an unforgettable wave. This song is not just music; it is a cathartic release, embodying the moment when someone, with trembling resolve, decides to move on.
Gerard's signature blend of pop-punk grit and alternative rock edge is entirely on display, but "Need Her" also showcases a refined emotional depth, proving that she is stretching her artistic reach without losing her core sound. The production is sharp yet spacious, allowing her melancholic vocals to shine and resonate powerfully.
For those who have followed her since she emerged on the scene in 2022, "Need Her" marks a significant leap forward. For newcomers, it serves as the perfect introduction to an artist unafraid to fuse vulnerability with strength. The timing is ideal, as on August 9, 2025, Gerard will open for the iconic Canadian rock band Nickelback, a performance that could introduce her to an even wider audience. Until then, "Need Her" is here to be experienced. Turn it up, let it wash over you, and you may find the strength to let go as well.
