“‘Dissent’N’Gin is a jewellery heist in all black leather, and it goes off without a hitch,” say the band. “You came for the jewels but you stayed for the feeling of immaculate power that’s surging through your blood, exerting that power seamlessly.”

After serving a smooth and easy going vibe on previous single ‘Sugar Pie, the band turn things up a notch with ‘Dissent’N’Gin’. With nods to classic 90s hip-hop lead singer Tristan Carter-Jones proves once again she is a musical tour-de-force, equally at ease spitting bars as she is delivering her signature soulful vocals. The lyrics are a wild ride of alcohol and lust, while the band create a soundscape of uneasiness that still leaves you wanting more.

‘Sugar Pie’ is the first new music from the acclaimed funk 4-piece since their much-loved debut album Black Light caused a stir in summer 2021. Back with the silky tones of lead singer Tristan Carter-Jones, fans will still recognise Dakota Jones’ signature powerful R‘n’B-infused funk sound but something has changed… The funk is dirtier, the vocals are sultrier. It’s got grit but there’s also a sweetness at play with ‘Sugar Pie’, with Tristan singing about ‘sweet songs since day one,’ and sharing the infectiousness of being in love. With one eyebrow raised and a crooked grin, it’s a fun return for the esteemed Brooklyn 4-piece.

‘It’s the effortless cool of a gang of two, walking in step through streets paved with sugar under a plush pink sky,” says the band. “Don’t know where you’re going and you don’t care. It’s rose-coloured glasses on the tip of your nose, and kisses like cotton candy.”
