When Dasha broke through with “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’),” she didn’t just score a hit—she carved out a strong space in country-pop. Now, fresh off her sold-out debut headline tour and a summer run with Thomas Rhett, she’s back to tell the story of the girl who made it all happen.
Her new EP, Anna—the first installment of a two-part project dropping today— feels like a homecoming and a reintroduction all at once. Featuring fan favorites “Oh Anna,” “Not At This Party,” “Train,” and “Like It Like That,” the EP channels the raw, fun dreamer at the heart of Dasha’s rise. It’s a love letter to the younger version of herself—the one who packed up her hopes, hit the road, and didn’t look back.
Anna is more than just a collection of songs. It’s a part of the “Dashville” world—where each track unfolds in its own corner of her universe, textured with stories of heartbreak, grit, and the golden moments between. Fans will recognize glimpses of the world that gave rise to “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’),” which has now been certified 49x Platinum/Gold across seventeen countries and helped Dasha surpass over one billion career streams.
My personal favorite, “Work On Me,” feels destined for its own moment apart from the EP. It’s a vibrant, feel-good anthem that blends country heart with polished pop. The clever wordplay and rugged edge, paired with its upbeat energy, capture the same honesty and playful spirit Dasha brought to “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)”. The music video is just as fun—colorful, dynamic, and full of her signature charm. From the catchy chorus to her effortless charisma, “Work On Me” feels like Dasha’s next big hit in the making.
This EP sets the stage for what’s next, teasing a second chapter that promises to dig even deeper into the world of Dashville. And with nominations rolling in—MTV Push Performance of the Year at the 2025 VMAs, Best New Artist (Country) at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, and a People’s Choice Country Award for Song of the Year—Dasha is proving she’s not just having a moment; she’s building a movement.
Anna is the sound of an artist fully stepping into her story—and letting the rest of us live inside it.
