The single sets the mood but fast-forwarding to right now with a visual ready for your eyes? It sets the tone. Embrace the cinematic presentation.

Rising R&B Songstress, Dajah Dorn, shares a new visual for her recent single “Twice on Sunday,” watch HERE via Vinyl Crown Recordings. Directed by Saint Cassius and Tahiry Bah.  Hailing from the north side of Jacksonville, Florida, Dajah has entered the world of R&B, weaving together her diverse musical influences and personal experiences to create a sound that is uniquely hers. 

Dajah in her own words: “A question I get a lot about Twice On Sunday is, “Girl, who are you singing about?” And I’m always like “I don’t know, I haven’t met him yet!” 

Honestly, when I wrote Twice on Sunday I wasn’t in the best emotional space regarding relationships, but I don’t want to write “men are trash” songs. That’s not a narrative I want to keep creating in my reality, so I was like I’m about to manifest what I want in a partner and how I want to be loved with this song. At some point in your life you have to realize your worth and choose yourself first. This song reminds me to focus on loving myself while staying open to being loved by the right person when the moment is right. 

I’m a lover girl, I still believe in love.”

This release follows Dajah's debut single, "I Don't Want You," released via Vinyl Crown Records in June 2023, offering a glimpse into her narrative. Inspired by her college relationship, the track reflects her commitment to authenticity and vulnerability in her art. The song serves as a testament to her belief in drawing from real-life circumstances to inform her artistry, and to connect with listeners on a deeply personal level. The narrative of the track has evolved from releasing relationships that no longer serve oneself to releasing hindrances in the listener's discovery of self and authenticity.
