The talented and inspiring artist Dax recently released the powerful anthem, “Dear Alcohol (Mega Remix),” where he remade his one-year-old release with a group of gifted musicians, to wrench our hearts even more with the exploration of addiction.
Nearly a year ago, I described Dax as an artist who champions messages he truly believes in. That conviction fuels the power of his music. But it’s not just the message itself – his delivery elevates it. He possesses a strong musical foundation that draws listeners in, creating a space for them to connect with his content.
“Dear Alcohol (Mega Remix)” by Dax and featuring Atlus, Kelsie Watts, SkyDxddy, Phix, Kayla Rae & more artists that were chosen from Tik-Tok open verse challenge is not a typical hit, it’s an epic anthem that tackles the internal struggles and destructive behaviors associated with addiction and alcohol abuse.
A few years ago, we at Scouts undertook a powerful initiative to raise awareness about addiction. Visiting treatment centers and hearing firsthand the devastating stories of those battling addiction left a lasting impact. This year, we continued our efforts at another facility, encountering yet more heartbreaking experiences. One common thread resonated across all these encounters, perfectly captured in Dax’s introspective lyric from “Dear Alcohol (Mega Remix)”: “I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight.”
Dax along with an impressive lineup of twelve guest artists take us to the depths of addiction’s darkness with their heart-stirring performances. All artists were well chosen and placed, and they all delivered the message melodically and sincerely with their powerful and beautiful voices. This collaborative approach creates a tapestry of voices, highlighting the universality of this battle.
However, the song isn’t just about the darkness of addiction. It sheds light on the strength and courage it takes to confront these demons. It serves as a reminder of the devastating impact of addiction, but also the possibility of healing and finding strength through shared experiences.
