DALLAS REMINGTON

                                                               "Guilty" 

                                                                Independent Release

Dallas Remington, a Kentucky native who has called Nashville home since she was 15 years old, has certainly discovered her niche within the country music scene over the past few years, making her first major impact at radio in 2020 with her song “Uncommon Man,” and she hasn’t slowed down since.

2021 saw her strike the Top 40 on Billboard’s Indicator chart with “Princess” and release extremely well-received digital singles “American Soil” and “Wild In The Woods,” while she has ambitiously released a new song every month in 2022, most recently finding tremendous viral success with “Steal Your Dad” and embracing the Halloween spirit last month with “Wicked Witch.”

She now returns with the tongue and cheek, though transparently honest, “Guilty,” a song which Dallas says was born out of a true-life situation of getting so distracted by a gorgeous Metro police officer and a whole truckload of good-looking firemen that it resulted in her being late for the writing session that would spawn this song.

Co-written by Remington with Craig Wilson and Nancy Deckant, “Guilty” sees Dallas digging into the signature gravel that has laced her output of songs all year, uniquely enhancing her addictive modern-branded style of classic country ideals and bluesy twists and turns.

The haunting tilt wrapped into the melody grips you and sets the overall vibey tone, as Remington describes her infatuation with men in uniforms – fireman, policeman, and any man with calloused hands Through list like fashion through the chorus, she then fawns over some of the attributes that make her so guiltily attracted to that type:

“Yeah, I’m guilty

I like a man that can handle me

It kills me, a little bit of authority

And if he grew up in the south

Then shut my mouth, lock me up, and throw away the key

Cause I’m sure as hell, gonna wind up in a cell

Like a love penitentiary

I’m guilty!”

As shredding guitars punch through the bridge, they heighten the “guilty” charges as Dallas pounds into the final chorus and provides what will be an instant show-stopping moment as she kicks a boot heel into the stage in rhythm with the sing-along breakdown as she belts out the song’s final moments.

With very clever, memorable lines such as “I’m melting like a slushie in the South,” combining with an all too often fantasy for a lot of listeners who love a man in uniform, Dallas Remington has delivered a grit-fueled anthem that is sure to capture attention quickly and provide her with her next viral hit.
