No More Silence: DG Adams’ “Business As Usual” Strikes a Deep Chord

DG Adams’s single “Business As Usual”, released on July 27, 2025, is a harrowing and urgent track from the Vancouver based artist. This powerful piece continues his tradition of using music to highlight global issues, turning his attention once again to the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Those familiar with his earlier work will recall “Tears of a Child”, a song inspired by an image of a four year old girl standing amid the ruins of war. Thirteen years later, Adams returns to the same subject only this time with a heavier heart, acknowledging that the situation has not improved but instead worsened. His songwriting remains as piercing as ever, free of embellishment, compelling the listener to confront the human cost of conflict particularly the toll it takes on innocent children. The message in “Business As Usual” is clear that the world cannot continue as if nothing is happening.

Artistically, the song is both soulful and unsettling, pairing heartfelt vocals with precise instrumentation that reflects the urgency of its message. Long time collaborator Vinay Lobo handles both the production and all guitar work, adding warmth, tension, and emotional grit to the arrangement. Drummer Shane Wilson provides a steady, deliberate rhythm that mirrors the song’s somber tone. Despite being recorded across different locations vocals and drums in Vancouver, and the rest of the instrumentation completed by Lobo while touring in India the final mix is strikingly cohesive. Every musical element feels intentional and unified, allowing the emotional weight of the subject to come through without distraction. The musicianship supports the message powerfully, never overshadowing it.

Beyond its musical craftsmanship, “Business As Usual” delivers an unapologetic call for change demanding a ceasefire, humanitarian aid, reconstruction, and international recognition of a Palestinian state. It stands firmly as a protest song that doesn’t hold back, with Adams delivering his message in a poetic yet direct style that lingers long after the final note. With his upcoming EP ‘Love War Guerra Amor’ set to explore similar themes, it’s clear that DG Adams isn’t just making music; he’s using it as a vehicle for truth and accountability. This track is for listeners who believe that music should not only stir emotions but also challenge silence in the face of injustice.
