Davnet is the third studio album by Canadian singer Damhnait Doyle, released in February 2003 (see 2003 in music) on the Halifax indie label Turtlemusik. [1] It was produced by Gordie Sampson. [2]

Music journalist Bob Mersereau wrote, "She's come a long way since her first album... She's gone from a youngster searching for pop hits to a much better artist letting the songs flow where they should." [3] The Globe and Mail , in a mostly favourable review, described her vocals as "comfy and confident... [Her] voice... is that of an ingénue made wiser but not more bitter by experience." [1]
