Montreal’s Dayside & Guffchild Blend Alternative R&B with Yacht Rock Vibes on “Daddy’s Girl”

“Daddy’s Girl,” the latest single from Montreal-based artists Dayside & Guffchild, combines smooth pop-inspired melodies, yacht rock production, and fellow Montreal-based hiphop artist Mosez Jones’ rhythmic rapping. Its sound is vibrant and groovy, yet beneath the upbeat and funky surface lies a dark, introspective narrative that polarizes the listener.

The song seamlessly blends elements of alternative R&B with rich instrumentation and layered production, a hallmark of the duo’s genre-bending style. “Daddy’s Girl” highlights the duo’s ability to craft tracks that are simultaneously catchy, introspective, and timeless, creating a fresh sound for alternative R&B lovers.

This track was an experiment in contrasts. The sound is fun, but the story it tells is anything but. That push-and-pull is what makes it stick. – Dayside

Longtime collaborators turned official duo under the 4PM collective, Dayside & Guffchild has gained momentum since releasing their first joint single last year. Known for their ability to merge eclectic sounds and talents, the tandem continue to explore new sonic territories while staying true to their Montreal roots.
