Almost country, entirely charming.

  • We Say...

    Born in the Philippines, now based in Alberta, Dahlia Wakefield seasons her Europop/dance-rock country with an Alanis/Shakira vibrato and Abba touches. From her webpage: "The AC acronym for Adult Contemporary really stands for Almost Country." Dahlia's drummer knows his stuff, and the intentionally self-parodying hidden acoustic version of "I Believe" is completely nuts and hilarious: She opens clearing her throat, then threatens to break some guy's knees, cast a spell with her love potion, drug him intravenously, duct-tape his lips and "not stop the Viagra" until he'll live with her happily ever after, even though "I know you're trying to out-whip me."
