John Duff – Somebody’s Daughter

Dog bless YouTube’s benevolent algorithm because without it there’s a real good chance Digital High never comes across the magic that is the toned (dulcet and/or otherwise) John Duff and his spellbinding bop “Somebody’s Daughter.”

A lighthearted play on mainstream gay-baiting, the out act flips the script and leans into the heteronormative slant society unconsciously subscribes to with a focus on chasing hookups over substantive relationships. Speaking to his process, he shares:

Honestly, every artist today is gay baiting and LGBTQ+ media eats it up…that’s why I’m going against the grain in my new song and video – I’m straight baiting. Maybe, now, I can be fetishized too.

And all of that is backed by a ridiculously digestible disco groove? I’m looking into retroactive placement on DH’s Tops o’ ’23 list it’s that good.
