New York upstart The Dare shares brand new single ‘Perfume’ today, alongside details of his much anticipated debut album What’s Wrong With New York?, landing September 6 via Polydor Records. ‘Perfume’ is accompanied by a video directed by Nick Harwood. Listen here and watch here.  

What’s Wrong With New York? was recorded over the last year between The Dare’s home and studio in New York. The album features songwriting and production collaborations with Dylan Brady (100 gecs), Emile Haynie (Lana Del Rey, FKA twigs, Dua Lipa), Romil Hemnani (Brockhampton), Chris Greatti (Yves Tumor, Yeule), Isaac Eiger of Strange Ranger and more.

The Dare is fresh from two nights opening for Charli xcx at her first-ever Brat live performances in New York and Los Angeles, where he debuted a brand-new live show. Additionally, he produced ‘Guess’ from the Brat deluxe edition out now—listen here.

The Dare is the solo project of vocalist, songwriter and producer Harrison Patrick Smith. Bursting onto the scene with the ubiquitous ‘Girls’ his much lauded The Sex EP drew widespread praise from critics and fellow artists alike. His explosive live shows have sold out across North America and Europe, and his legendary DJ sets, honed at his signature downtown Manhattan party Freakquencies, have soundtracked parties for Gucci, Celine and many more. He has shared stages and collaborated with Charli xcx, Yves Tumor, Water From Your Eyes and a host of others.
