Darnell is not new to the spotlight, Darnell is. Famous in the past due to his polarising appearance on Big Brother UK, he used to hog the headlines not due to skill, but controversy. That chapter is, however, a long way past. The rest is not the rewriting of history, but it is simply the post-fame retrospective that few people dare to write.
In such a way, Darnell enters into the silence that follows downfall with the help of the song, which he starts with the words, Play it again. Becoming a multi-genre performer with a history of work with UK greats including Giggs, Bashy, Big Narstie and Ashley Walters, he has more than demonstrated his creative capabilities behind the scenes. Throw Grammy and an L.A. Music Award on his resume and you know the truth: the man has range. Yet awards cannot cover up guilt. It is not about demonstration of skills. It is about facing the specter, which was left by fame, and it is not doing it through the prism of vanity but vulnerability.
