FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE




Dahlia Wakefield Unveils Defiant New Single, “Goodbye,” on January 21, 2025

Edmonton, AB, Canada — Renowned singer-songwriter Dahlia Wakefield continues her meteoric rise with the release of her newest single, “Goodbye,” which debuted January 21, 2025. Raw, unapologetic and dripping with attitude, this hard-hitting rock anthem, laced with classic rock influences, gritty riffs, commanding vocals and a no-nonsense edge, this track showcases her powerful voice and uncompromising lyrical depth while delivering a bold message. The track, produced by Juno-nominated Sandro Dominelli at Dominelli Studios, is the second single from her upcoming album, My Truth.


“Goodbye” is a fiery anthem of resilience, empowerment, and boundary-setting, encapsulating the raw emotion of walking away from toxic relationships. “This song is the equivalent of giving the musical middle finger to anyone who’s done you wrong,” says Dahlia. “It’s about reclaiming your power and moving forward without regret.”

The single emerged from a creative collaboration between Dahlia, her partner Kevin Frey, and her youngest daughter, Jade Rooney. Initially written years ago, the song found new life in 2023 when Frey introduced a compelling riff that perfectly complemented Dahlia’s dormant lyrics. Jade contributed to the final verses and even joined the recording session, lending her voice to the track’s dynamic “gang vocals.”


The song features an exceptional lineup of musicians, each adding a unique touch to the bold composition:


  • Acoustic Guitar & Vibraslap: Kevin Frey

  • Lead Guitar: Alan Tymofichuk

  • Bass: Jeff Godley

  • Drums & Shaker: Dennis Boisvert

  • Lead and Backup Vocals & Tambourine: Dahlia Wakefield

  • Background Gang Vocals: Jade Rooney, Aliska Steenkamp, Dahlia Wakefield, Kevin Frey, Jeff Godley, and Dennis Boisvert


“Goodbye” follows Queen of Overthinking, the lead single from My Truth, which was released on November 4, 2024, during Dahlia’s birthday celebration in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Both tracks highlight Dahlia’s transition into a harder rock sound while retaining the emotional authenticity that has defined her career.
