D’Lee’s new single “Evel Knievel“ has officially landed, and she’s giving exactly what country music needs right now. It feels like swapping your comfy slippers for shiny cowboy boots—fresh, exciting, and totally irresistible.

After her sweet, soft-hearted ballad “Everything Is Fine,” this is a full-on plot twist in the best way. “Evel Knievel” sparkles, sizzles, and practically begs to be played while you’re dancing under neon lights on a Friday night, drink in hand, surrounded by laughter and friends. It’s that track. The one that turns the whole vibe around.

But beyond the bop, what really shines is D’Lee herself. She sounds bold, sure of herself, and completely in her element. She’s not guessing who she is—she’s owning it. Her voice carries this perfect blend of country charm and pop sparkle, with just enough wild energy to make it all crackle. It’s giving boots, rhinestones, a little rebel streak, but also: joy. Actual, contagious joy.

I’ll be real—every single she’s dropped so far feels like a puzzle piece snapping into place. She’s building something. And if the album ends up being the full picture? We might be looking at that record. You know, the one everyone will be referencing in every “Best Albums of the Year” list come December. I genuinely feel this could be D’Lee’s breakout year. She’s effortlessly hitting all the right notes to become country music’s new favorite.

And if “Evel Knievel” and “Everything Is Fine” are even a small taste of what’s next, then we’re not just getting a great country album—we’re witnessing a defining moment in the genre.

Until then, I’ll keep “Evel Knievel” on repeat. Because this? This is the kind of energy we all need more of.
