Review: "Honest?" - Tessa Dalton


Tessa Dalton Honest? Cover Art

Rising pop icon Tessa Dalton has just released her new hit track, "Honest?", making this her 6th single in 6 months! "Honest?" tells the story of a girl with a dilemma we know all too well: romantic stagnancy. Questioning whether or not her relationship has any sense of direction, Dalton sings about the need for her and her partner to be honest with themselves in the midst of all the emotional chaos and uncertainty. Dalton's catchy take on love is one soaked in her own past experiences, reflecting how the highs can feel so beautifully nostalgic and how the inevitable lows can send one spiraling. "Honest?", like the name suggests, is a compelling track that urges listeners to face the truth of reality as well as the truth within themselves, making for a fun, rock-filled emotional roller coaster.




"Honest?" is an upbeat, retro track with a strong pop-rock feel fans just can't get enough of! The song's electric guitar and static effect create a lively rhythm that one can't help but bop their head to. These factors, along with Dalton's vocals, work to create a smooth and punky sound, packing an audible punch reminiscent of the early 2000s. The painfully relatable lyrics coupled with her stylish delivery turn the track into a perfectly balanced scale of angst and youthfulness, reminding us that sometimes things don't go the way we plan, but it's not the end of the world. Dalton's unique approach to the indie pop/rock scene distinguish her from other artists in the genre, already leaving a lasting impact on her fans and supporters.


Tessa Dalton is a southeastern sensation with an ambitious spunk that has carried her to success throughout her early career! Her substantial talent and go-getter attitude have launched her far into the pop world and she hasn't looked back since. Dalton has always had a passion for music, with an extensive background in instrumentation. Studying commercial music at Belmont University, Dalton deepens her education in hopes of furthering her stardom in singing and songwriting! Recording and producing all of her own music, Dalton's first single, "One More Night", garnered nearly 200k streams on Spotify, with her other singles performing similarly well across the board. With the latest release of "Honest?", a semi-finalist piece in the 2023 International Songwriting Competition, and with her personal goal of releasing one single per month, fans can expect to get many more catchy melodies stuck in their ears!
