Dan Miraldi is the definition of prolific.  In his solo career alone, the New York-based and Cleveland-born singer and songwriter has released four full-length albums and eight EPs.  2022 finds him unveiling his fifth full-length, affectionately titled, Radio Friendly Darling.  Its first single, “Room For 2,” arrives on digital music sites Thursday, April 28th.

“Room For 2” is an infectious banger showcasing Miraldi’s knack for writing great melodies and arranging joyful harmonies.  He explains:  “We have all been through a lot these last few years.  I just wanted to make something joyful.  With this album there are some tender moments of reflection, but mainly I wanted to rock – big guitars, big harmonies.  Let’s do this!  For “Room For 2,” I was trying to capture the uplifting feeling of a great first date and the feeling of possibilities.”  In “Room For 2” specifically, one can hear a unique mesh of influences – Blondie, the Strokes and ELO – harmoniously and uniquely sewn together over a dance rock beat and punkish bass line.  Overall the track is an appealing teaser of what is in store with Radio Friendly Darling.
