New York-based artist D’Arcy turns personal turbulence into pop catharsis with her new single One Night, out today. The track was born from a one-night relapse after six years of sobriety, yet it refuses to sound defeated. Instead, it transforms pain into brightness, blending vulnerability with sly confidence. Wrapped in shimmering synths and a pulsing groove, One Night is both confession and release.
The music video, directed, shot and edited by Aria Herbst, turns alien abductions into a metaphor for addiction catching up to the protagonist. Co-written and produced by Zach Sorgen, with drums by Brendan Buckley and mixing and mastering by RAW Recording, the visual narrative feels surreal yet deeply human. D’Arcy faces her chaos with humour and irony, moving through neon-lit skies and UFO encounters as if reclaiming control through playfulness. The result feels oddly liberating, like watching someone dance their demons away.
The last time we spoke with D’Arcy was in 2024, when she released hold still, a song that captured her introspective yet fierce creative essence. Since then, she has continued to evolve as one of New York’s most singular voices, effortlessly moving between songwriting and the DJ booth, where she spins techno and house at venues like Le Bain and Good Room. One Night bridges those worlds, intimate storytelling wrapped in club-ready energy.
