Dasha: ‘What Happens Now? Deluxe’ – Album Review

Dasha extends her debut album with a new deluxe version called, What Happens Now? Deluxe, out now, September 13th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project here.

When rising star, Dasha came on the scene, she was instantly embraced by country fans for her one-of-a-kind talent and charisma. While her viral song, “Austin” may have put her on the map, her debut album, What Happens Now?  showcases that she is much more than one viral song. Today, Dasha celebrates her return to her roots by releasing the deluxe version of her project, What Happens Now? Deluxe.

“I’ve never really felt at home in any other space until the country genre. Releasing the deluxe version of What Happens Now? Feels like the end of an era,” shared Dasha in a recent press release. “I’m really proud of this project and the chapter we created together, and it has set me up for even better and brighter things in the future. The world of country generously opened their arms so big for me and my debut. Artists like Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Kelsea Ballerini and Keith Urban have really encouraged me to go bigger and bolder while doing what I love as a human and an artist. For that, I’ll be forever thankful.”

When she chatted with Country Swag last November, Dasha revealed, “I had this epiphany and was like ‘I have to go back to my roots and start making country music again’, so in the last nine months to a year, I’ve really dove into that […] I have never had such an amazing time making music before. Music has never come so effortlessly to me before as it has with this music. It’s the beginning of this new country era.”

The deluxe version of the project houses five new songs, including, “Didn’t I?” Each of the songs showcase her talent, as she leans into her incredible songwriting prowess. Songs like “Leaving Don’t Mean Goodbye” and “Ain’t No Friend of Mine” capture the essence of her artistry. Both songs read like diary entries, as Dasha unapologetically shares her truth in all of her music.

Each new song keeps with the heart of the debut project, while embedding even more honesty into an already authentic project. With each and every release, Dasha plants her feet firmly into the country music soil, where she belongs.
