The Dare – What’s Wrong With New York? An Album Causing a Ruckus

New York City, synonymous with the pulse and the hustle, never did it anticipate a rhythmic jolt quite like The Dare’s debut phenomenon, ‘What’s Wrong With New York?’. Released by Polydor / Republic Records on the 6th of September, 2024, this album is not just a collection of tracks; it’s a sonic revolution, a manifesto of merriment in a metropolis that never sleeps.
- An opener that drags you into the depths of hedonism.
- Guitars that taunt and tease before the plunge.
- An electrifying tracklist that only escalates with each beat.
‘Open Up’ sets the scene: a subterranean lair of elation, while ‘Good Time’, ‘Perfume’, and ‘Girls’ form a triad of The Dare’s quintessence – a celebration without the burden of seriousness, a concoction of kinetic energy and liberation. ‘All Night’ vibrates as an anthem of the untethered, and ‘Elevate’ darkens the tones with introspective dance-pop vibes.
Yet, ‘Movement’ completely obliterates the ceiling of intensity, speaking to the heart of what this album is – an endless revel, chasing the dawn, not for the party, but for the profound connections kindled in the shadows of the dance floor. The camaraderie of the night, the kinship formed amid the swirl of melodies and moonlit confessions, and the exultant discovery of music that feels like it’s been written just for you, with comrades you’ve just met.
As the album ascends to ‘What’s Wrong With New York?’, The Dare propels listeners to heights of fervor unprecedented, crafting a niche that is entirely, unmistakably his own. When the last note of ‘You Can Never Go Home’ rings out, one is left with the echoing sentiment: ‘why would you ever want to?’
