With a steady raucous beat and a driving rhythm saturated in the hook, Dar.Ra gives a uniquely original and powerful ode to the #indie in the form ode his new single and video titled ‘Phenomenal’. This track is anthemic in nature and will stick in your head long after the video is a memory. An absolute must-have for the secretly trendy and the introvertively hip.

On Phenomenal, Dar.Ra says –
“The track is about single mothers and the sacrifice they make to keep everything going, a roof over their heads and food on the table. It’s a tribute to them and my own Mum who brought me and my brother up on her own and worked herself to the point of exhaustion to do it. God bless them all”.
The forthcoming album (2019) titled ‘Planet X’ is a unique blend of rock energy and soulful melodies crossing boundaries from those genres plus visiting the world of reggae and country and world music soundscapes. The sound is heavyweight, tight and never lets you down for a second.
Themes on the album include; strong single mothers on the lead single track ‘Phenomenal’, losing people you love way too soon on a track called ‘Rewind’, world insecurities on ‘Heavier Than Rock n Roll’, and love being your drug of choice on ‘Heart Shaped Pill’.
Dar.Ra is a really unique songwriter, producer and author who makes an amazing blend of rock and soul Music
(21st Artists Hollywood)“Highly impressive”
(Planet Earth Radio USA)Dar.Ra is an incredible act to follow as he is always evolving on each song with incredible results
(Indie People USA)Dar.Ra infuses layers of vocals and instrumentation into each record he makes. The genius of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles, came to mind while listening to “Phenomenal”, “Back To The Brink” and “Heart Shape Pill”
