Today, singer-songwriter on the rise Debbii Dawson releases her latest single, “Turn The TV On,” out now via RCA Records.
A guitar-driven ballad of cinematic scale and flourish, “Turn The TV On” puts Debbii’s unique and ‘70s-laced vocals on full display as she sings about seeking solace in the glow of the television screen when reality becomes too difficult to face.
“The true meaning of this song lies in what is unsaid,” says Debbii of the release. “Wishing that I could turn the world off but instead finding an escape in turning my tv on, never leaving home, and the numbing mundaneness of an uneventful life.”
“Turn The TV On” is the latest single from her upcoming EP, How To Be Human, set for release on Friday, June 28. She previously teased the project with the track “Happy World,” called “transcendent”by Ones To Watch, praising Dawson for “channeling music of the past and applying it to her own modern perspective,” while Billboard highlighted the song as one of their ‘Cool New Pop Songs’ of the week.
Debbii released her debut EP, Learning, in 2023, which featured the breakout singles “Eulogy ForNobody” and “Even If It Kills Me.” Signing to RCA Records in April, later this month she will join Orville Peck to support select dates of his Stampede North American Tour through June, in addition to joiningSuki Waterhouse for her Denver date in September.
