In just two years, Dasha has transformed into a household name, captivating audiences with her undeniable talent and authentic storytelling. Since the viral breakout of her hit single “Austin”, now surpassing 1.7 billion streams, Dasha has skyrocketed from rising talent to one of country music’s most talked-about new voices. Now, she continues that momentum with her new EP, Anna, showcasing her most personal and confident work yet.
This project takes listeners on a journey through love, nostalgia, and self-discovery, told through sharp songwriting and an infectious sense of energy. Across eight tracks, she balances upbeat, radio-ready anthems with tender acoustic storytelling, showing both her depth as a lyricist and her natural charisma as a performer.
The EP opens with “Work On Me,” a flirty, feel-good track about meeting a hard-working guy who’s exactly her type. It’s catchy and confident and the kind of song that immediately pulls you into Dasha’s world. The playful vibes are perfectly executed in the official music video, which was also released today.
“Not At This Party” keeps the energy going, pairing a bright, danceable melody with the bittersweet feeling of being somewhere you don’t want to be — pretending to have fun while wishing you were with the one who got away. It’s a perfect example of Dasha’s ability to make heartbreak sound effortlessly fun.
That contrast continues on “Please Stop Changing,” a heartfelt reflection on seeing someone from your past who isn’t the same person you once knew. Dasha’s vocals are warm and emotional, carrying the weight of nostalgia without ever feeling heavy-handed.
“Gimme A Second” leans back into her upbeat groove, blending breezy pop-country production with a relatable storyline: running into an ex and needing just a moment to process it all, especially when he’s with someone new. It’s infectious, catchy, and emotionally real, a sentiment that has become a Dasha signature.
The energy softens on “I Don’t Mean To” and “Train,” two of the EP’s most vulnerable songs. “I Don’t Mean To” strips things back with a simple, acoustic arrangement as Dasha admits she still misses someone, even though she doesn’t mean to. “Train,” another acoustic gem, reflects on how time passes quietly, and how a strange place can sometimes become home. Both tracks showcase her strength as a storyteller and her ability to capture big emotions in small, relatable moments.
The closing tracks “Like It Like That” and “Oh, Anna!” round out the project with self- assuredness and introspection. The former channels an easygoing confidence, while the title track is a love letter to growth and the little girl who dreamed big, before all of her success.
Throughout Anna, Dasha sounds fully herself. The production is polished but never overdone, and her lyrics stay grounded in the real emotions that define young adulthood, attraction, regret, change, and moving on. She’s not afraid to be fun or to be honest, and that balance makes this EP shine.
With Anna, Dasha proves she’s more than a moment; she’s an artist with a clear point of view and a timeless storyteller.
