DAKOTA RELEASE DEBUT SINGLE ‘WILD CHILD’ ON 20 JULY 2009

Show Jumpers Ben Talbot and Tom Davison are heavily-tipped to be the pop act of 2009, Leamington Spa four-piece DAKOTA will follow the success of their recent free download with the release of their debut single ‘Wild Child’ on20 July 2009 through Genuine Records and Right Track Distribution/Universal Music. 

As if by design, Dakota’s euphonious slice of self-styled ponce rock is immaculately timed for the start of Pimms season and is odds on to become the feel good hit of the summer. An almost unlawfully addictive chorus is combined with unashamedly indulgent timpani drums and then juxtaposed against a slightly sinister character assessment of an old flame courtesy of singer and chief songsmith Ben Talbot.

‘Wild Child’ is the first release from Dakota’s debut album, ‘Here, There and Everywhere’

which is set for release in the autumn. A heavy contender for topping the album charts and

joining the illustrious gang of Number 1 debutants, HT&E was borne out of a broken heart and

Ben’s struggles to come to terms with the realities of heartache. With such perfectly formed

pieces of pop mastery, Keane, The Feeling, Scouting For Girls et al had better watch their

backs.
