International singer-songwriter Dora Donaldson is back with her second single ‘You Wonder Why’ since moving to Malaysia. Dora is Hungarian-American-Swiss and is currently based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The product of a collaboration between two local Malayasian producers, the track was recorded and produced during one of the lockdowns in the past year. Receiving praise from the likes of A&R Factory and Roadie Music, Dora’s songwriting has certainly stepped up a gear.
Speaking about the new release, Dora shares, “This song is part of a series that I’m working on about self-growth. My previous single, “If This Is Your Love” is about recognising the difference between control and love, and finding the courage to step away. “You Wonder Why” acts as the next stage – facing the inevitable backlash for becoming your own person.”
Dreaming of her music being featured on the silver screen, Dora Donaldson’s remarkable music will leave you wanting more. “You Wonder Why” is a downtempo folk track that comes across as a breathtaking ballad. Sounding like the rebirth of Dora, hearing her music in this new light is spine-tingling. Showcasing darker themes, cinematic instrumentals and a sense of urgency, the track is about finally using your voice to say what you mean.
