Daniela Andrade “i see red” Review: A Deep Dive into ‘Oda’

Daniela Andrade’s “i see red” is the Catharsis We Didn’t Know We Needed

If you grew up on the internet in the 2010s, you probably remember Daniela Andrade as the girl with the acoustic guitar who could make any cover song feel like it was written just for you. But with her latest single, “i see red,” she’s officially left the “cover artist” label in the rearview mirror.

Released this past week, “i see red” isn’t the explosive, “anger-management” anthem the title might suggest. Instead, it’s a quiet, shimmering look at what it means to actually feel your feelings without letting them burn the house down.

More Than Just a Pop Song

What makes this track hit differently is how personal it gets. Halfway through, you’ll hear a voice memo from Daniela’s mother. It’s a bit of “intergenerational wisdom” that touches on temper and love, making the song feel less like a polished studio product and more like a private conversation.

Daniela has always been open about her Honduran-Canadian roots, and here, it feels like she’s using that heritage to bridge the gap between who she was and who she’s becoming.

The Vibe: Moodier, Grittier, Better

Sonically, this is a massive leap forward. Working with producers Nathan Burley and Gray Rowan, Daniela has traded simple strumming for:

  • Glitchy, fractured beats that keep you slightly on edge.

  • Whisper-close vocals that feel like she’s standing right next to you.

  • Late-night jazz energy that grounds the experimental electronic sounds.

Why ‘Oda’ is the Album to Watch in 2026

“i see red” is our third look at her upcoming album, Oda (arriving March 6). If the rest of the 14 tracks are even half as honest as this one, we’re looking at one of the most significant indie-pop releases of the year.

It’s rare to find an artist who can transition from viral YouTube fame to legitimate, experimental artistry so gracefully. If you’ve ever sat in your car just to finish a thought or stared at a wall trying to process a bad day, this song is your new soundtrack.
