Lonely Dirt Road - Dax (Pop) Dax returns for the ninth time on our blog with “Lonely Dirt Road”, a place of solace for Dax where he can let out his emotions, contemplate his struggles and be alone with God. Accompanied by yet another cinematic music video that Dax is known for over here, “Lonely Dirt Road” is another of Dax’s unique blend of hiphop/pop with country twang, here his strong baritone leaning into the country influence while the stripped down instrumental reminds us of 2010s hiphop crossover bops like Mary J. Blige’s “Be Without You.” Marrying the hiphop percussion and country vocal is a solemn piano that lingers back in the reverb, forming a bridge between Dax’s influences. It makes for a stirring record.
Best Lyric: “Face this evil that burdens my soul.”
