(Cape Town, South Africa – 26 September) – South African pop artist Dan Duminy (known for his collaborations with the likes of Nasty C, Tellaman, and Blxckie) returns with his brand-new single Mixed Signals, out now. Marking his first release since April (Lost Without You), the track is an honest and vulnerable look at the moments when love feels uncertain. “The song came from a place of frustration and vulnerability, that space where someone’s actions and words just don’t line up,” Dan explains. “I wanted to capture the confusion of being stuck in between, where you care for someone, but they’re not giving you clarity. It’s real, it’s raw, and I think a lot of people have been in that place.”
Blending pop with darker, cinematic textures, Mixed Signals carries the emotional honesty fans know Dan for, while showcasing a more polished and dynamic sound. Produced alongside his longtime friend and collaborator Jordan James, the track balances vulnerability with strength. “Jordan knows me better than anyone, so he really helped me bring out the most honest version of the song,” Dan shares. “The textures he added gave it depth that made it hit harder while still feeling authentic.”
Beyond the single, Dan has been hard at work completing his upcoming EP, set to drop soon. “This year has been about clarity,” he reflects. “Musically, I’ve been finding my lane more than ever and putting together a project that feels true to who I am. Personally, it’s been a mix of highs and lows, but even the challenges have shaped me into a stronger artist and person.”
Mixed Signals is just the beginning of this new chapter, with more singles, collaborations, and live performances on the horizon. “It feels like everything I’ve been building is finally aligning – the EP, the new music, the shows, all of it. 2026 is going to be a breakthrough year, and I’m excited to keep sharing my story and connecting deeper with fans.”
