二零一六年的十月，Douglas Dare 發行了第二張專輯『Aforger』他獨特的嗓音讓許多人拿他與 Radiohead 主唱 Thom York 以及 James Blake 相比，因為他們的嗓音中都帶著憂鬱的情緒並且除了歌聲以外都能寫出許多傳透人心的歌曲。
專輯首波主打 “Doublethink" 唱出了心靈糾結時渴望自由的情緒；第二單曲 ”Oh Father“ 似乎唱出Dare 渴望父愛的感受；專輯第三張單曲 ”New York" 則是讓人不禁猜想，今天的紐約仍然是大家心中追逐夢想的地方嗎？還是只是所有人心中一昧地覺得？
目前在歐洲巡迴演出進入一個階段的 Douglas ， 期待他能推出新的音樂並且唱出更多自己的故事引起新的世代更多共鳴。
