Dasha has been making waves in country music ever since she released her breakout hit “Austin,” which appears on her second full-length studio album, What Happens Now?
What’s the Direction for Dasha’s Third Album?
The hitmaker was a guest on Taste of Country Nights, where I asked her what is on tap for her third studio album, and she dropped some surprise insider information about it.
Dasha says the album will feature “summer party vibes. Drive the boat, baby, drive the boat. It’s gonna be epic, I’m so excited.”
When I pressed further, asking her if she made enough money off of her breakout hit to splurge on a boat, she said she didn’t, but joked that she could get one someday if I played her song enough.
Taking Dasha’s vibe into consideration, I don’t see her lounging in a Jon boat on a lake somewhere. If she does get a boat, I see her on a party pontoon dancing all day and night.
