Welcome to Buzz, Dani Dash! We’re nodding our heads to your empowering new single, "Session 148." What inspired you to create this powerful, impactful track?
Session 148 is a record for the Girls Girl. For all of us who tend to forget who we are behind the man, we’re in a relationship with. Sometimes, for the sake of love, we tend to allow things we don’t deserve. So I really just wanted this to be an ode to the women who stand up for themselves and take no BS when it comes to matters of the heart.
The music video for “Session 148” feels so personal, like you're talking right at the viewer. What was your vision for it, and how did you and Dulanci Vallie bring that to life?
I really wanted to make it feel like a visual diary entry. I wanted the pieces of me to connect to the elevation of the song. It starts off soft and then progresses into this kind of sassy banter of “letting this little bird fly,” just taking back your power. I wanted to show the elements to me: Feminine/Sassy/Swaggy.
How does “Session 148” tie into the overall theme and concept of your EP From Dash with Love?
From Dash with Love is really a journal entry expressed in song. Each of these records was a moment in time in my life or something created from my heart. Session 148 really balances out the project as it has a softer, more submissive feminine energy and gradually transforms into this Divine Feminine energy, and I just love how it tells a story.
Can you share more about the songwriting process for “Session 148”? Was it cathartic to translate your emotions into a cohesive song?
The song really came about during a time when I was purging toxic love. I had made a decision and promised myself that I wouldn’t settle for less or ever accept the bare minimum again, and I just wanted to convey a message to all the women out there who fully comprehend what I’m writing about. Sometimes, you just need to confirm what you know and close a chapter. It’s like, “Hey, hello. I have some things I want to say, and you’re going to listen.” .. Session 148 is just that, commanding and demanding respect and being the one to close the door on something negative.
What do you hope listeners, particularly women, take away from “Session 148”? What was your goal in that respect?
To be completely honest, what I want women to take away from “Session 148” is their Power back. I want them to know it’s okay to slip but never fall! You don’t have to suffer to receive love and you don’t have to accept less just to have love. Someone will love you right the first time, and when you see the red flags .. believe them. I hope this could be an anthem for the girls who don’t have the words to say but could use a reminder. Never settle for less when you desire more.
