Although he always gets a little nervous when he’s sharing new music, those lessons have made him approach the creative process with a sense of acceptance. But he’s also learned over the last several years that there’s no predicting what takes off, and no recipe for the intangible quality that makes fans connect with something. He’s not afraid of exploring a hyper-connected, online world after all, it’s the Internet that made “Me Rehúso” a viral hit. This reality is something that we can’t escape. “Because everything is going to be in a digital environment. “That’s one of the reasons why my album is called he says. On “Oficiales,” he sings about the idea of making a romance social media-official. “ADO” was inspired by a conversation he had with a friend in the adult film industry, who described how she’d noticed more people being drawn to online interactions rather than physical ones. While the new album sees him teaming up with lots of people (Justin Quiles, Guaynaa, TINI, and Dread Mar-I also make appearances), he’s also interested in the changing nature of relationships in the digital age. “That’s the kind of artists that I like, who have this sense of uniqueness.” “I knew Tokischa was going to blow up,” he says. “Apartamento” features the Dominican Republic’s brilliant production maverick Diego Raposo, while Tokischa adds flair to the spiky electronic jolts of “Dorito & Coca-Cola.” All of the collaborations happened organically, Danny says, a result of following his instincts and identifying artists who were bringing something new to the table. “Rubia sol morena luna v2” swerves into pop-rock territory “Dicen” is an acoustic ballad.

Putting his feelings out there kicked his career into high gear, and he hasn’t stopped writing since. “It was like, ‘Why do I have to leave somebody behind, and why do I have to leave my country?'” he explains. Looking back at the song now, Danny sees it as a political message, one that hits on the pain of migration. “Me Rehúso” was catchy, but there was a quiet longing running through it.
