Dax & Consequential
In his emotionally charged single “Lonely Dirt Road,” Wichita artist Dax blends country storytelling, hip-hop honesty, and soulful R&B into something that feels both incredibly personal and widely relatable. With minimal production and raw, heartfelt lyrics, he turns the idea of a “dirt road” into more than just a place — it becomes a safe haven, a space where pain, faith, and unresolved emotions all meet.
From the very first line — “When I need space, that’s where I go...” — Dax pulls us into the mind of someone wrestling with emotional weight, pressure from the world, and inner demons. The images he paints are vivid and painful: embracing the darkness within, carrying emotional baggage, and finding comfort not in people, but in motion — in getting in the car, hitting the road, and driving until it all fades. There’s a meditative rhythm to his delivery, like the steady hum of tires on gravel, matching the lonely escape he’s describing.
Musically, the track lives in a space between genres. The country roots come through in the themes of home, masculinity, and silent struggle. The hip-hop foundation brings structure and flow, while the R&B undertones in the chorus give it heart and soul. The beat stays low-key, giving Dax’s words the room they need to hit hard and linger.
One of the most powerful moments comes when he opens up about generational pain:
“I think I feel the pain my father felt / his body sinking in / Looking back all I see is his eyes...”
It’s a haunting reflection — not just on his own hurt, but on what’s been passed down. The weight men are expected to carry without breaking, and the silence that often surrounds that struggle.
The song closes on a raw, vulnerable note:
“I know there’s gotta be a heaven to the hell that’s in me...”
It’s more than just a plea for space — it’s a cry for peace, understanding, and something redemptive beyond the pain. “Lonely Dirt Road” isn’t just a song — it’s a confession, a journey, and a reminder that sometimes, healing starts with getting in the car and driving until your heart catches up.

An Unfiltered Groove That Hits Home and the Dance Floor
With “ComeAround,” UK-based producer Consequential serves up a genre-blending track that’s as heartfelt as it is club-ready. Pulling from commercial dance, drum and bass, and vocal-driven EDM, the song explodes with high energy — but there’s also an unexpected sense of closeness to it. It doesn’t just move your feet — it connects.
Part of that comes from how the track was made. Recorded in totally unfiltered, everyday spaces — from the artist’s bed to the backyard, even while washing dishes — “ComeAround” captures real life in motion. That spontaneity bleeds into the music, giving it a warmth and authenticity that stands out in a genre often polished to perfection. You can feel the fingerprints on this one.
Production-wise, it’s a tight and colorful ride. Driving basslines and crisp drums keep the pace, while glistening synths and rhythmic drops wrap around a vocal that’s instantly catchy but still full of texture. There’s something familiar about the hook, yet it keeps surprising you — the kind of track you find yourself looping without getting bored.
Lyrically, it doesn’t overcomplicate things. It leans into themes of connection and motion — showing up, being present, letting go. And that simplicity works. It mirrors the music’s open, fluid vibe and makes it all the more inviting. This is a track that pulls you in without forcing anything.
As Consequential’s sixth release this year, “ComeAround” feels like a creative turning point. There’s more confidence, more personality, and a stronger sense of direction. It’s the kind of song that sets the tone not just for the dancefloor, but for where the artist is headed — toward a sound that’s less about chasing trends and more about chasing feeling.
