DOABA by Garry Sandhu

DOABA arrived from the DOABA album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2022. Garry Sandhu sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

Garry Sandhu inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. a talented ensemble cast are at the heart of DOABA, and DOABA captures their dynamic at its most compelling.

The song dates from 2022, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. Some music is background. DOABA demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

Running to 3:22, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. This is music that holds up — not because it is perfect, but because it is honest, and honesty in a song is irreplaceable.
