Nashville-based singer, rapper, and songwriter Dallas Murrae leans into infectious melodies and undeniable chemistry on ‘Bad,’ a genre-blending track that pairs hip-hop with polished pop sensibilities. Clocking in slightly above two minutes, this song conveys all the joy associated with falling under the spell of a girl whose charisma steals the show wherever she shows up.
As a good example of Nashville’s rich indie scene, the influences that shaped Dallas Murrae come from far off in Texas, where he incorporates elements of Southern country in his songwriting process. He merges melodic pop tunes with elements of hip hop along with his knack for storytelling through music, slowly developing a following on the strength of albums like Made With Moonshine and OFFSZN and hits ‘Shasta,’ ‘Netflix,’ and ‘Roommates.’
Song Review: ‘Bad’ sees a change in Dallas Murrae’s narrative from being contemplative to one of joy. The track follows a narrator who stays confident despite outside attention and embraces the attention his lover naturally attracts. Instead of writing about jealousy, ‘Bad’ becomes a happy celebration of confidence, attraction, and trust. Fun production, danceable beats, and singalong choruses make this album one of his more radio-friendly albums.
