Dolly Dagger Reveals New Single & Video “Say What You Wanna”

Packing a punch like she really means it, Australian-Angelino artist Dolly Dagger has thrown down her second single, Say What You Wanna, with pure courage, conviction and a killer instinct. Featuring bold guitar riffs and catchy, searing lyrics like “There’ll be peace when you can speak it/ And I’ll be free when I can feel it/ I’ll be leaving best believe it…” For all the friendships that have long gone stale, Dolly Dagger has created an anthem that outlines modern ways to end old friendships.

To tie things together, Dolly produced, self-shot and edited a horror-style music video in which she has to dispose of a body that works as a perfect metaphor for the emotion behind a longtime friendship fallout. The video and song also feature guitarist, friend and composer Jesse McInturff, who worked with Dolly on the track.

“It took me two years to dig this metaphorical grave, but only two seconds in music video time. Burying a friendship can be hard. Sometimes you think you’ve moved on but you haven’t, so you have to do those little symbolic things for yourself like unfollowing or blocking. No current feelings were hurt in the making of this video, people come and people go. Either way, it’s good to find catharsis through creating art and expressing ourselves, even if at an exaggerated level. Remember, art is an expression. Don’t take it all too seriously. Kill your ego, not each other.”

Say What You Wanna is now available via digital platforms
