the dt’s – All In My Head

The dt’s new single, “All In My Head,” delivers a masterful blend of modern pop energy with a refreshing vintage touch. Born from a guitar melody that lived in songwriter Dave’s head, the track grew into something vibrant and polished through sheer creative persistence. The journey to refine the vocal melody highlights the band’s dedication, with producer Joey Papa playing a pivotal role in elevating its final form. The result? A vocal performance that feels effortless yet intricately layered.

What makes “All In My Head” stand out is its dynamic production. The live recording of Rob Jennings’ pulsating bass and Frank Lettieri’s infectious drum groove sets the foundation, while playful synths add surprising texture throughout. A bridge brimming with snaps, synth experiments, and a hint of Arctic Monkeys-inspired darkness effortlessly transitions into a chorus uplifted by bright vocal harmonies. The Charlie Puth-esque “call and response” vocal solo in the final chorus is a stroke of brilliance unexpected and memorable.

The dt’s balance of experimentation and pop sensibility shines in this release. “All In My Head” is undeniably catchy, with moments that feel both familiar and refreshingly original. Fans of contemporary pop with a vintage twist will find themselves hitting repeat, and I’d highly recommend adding this gem to your playlist and following the dt’s journey, you won’t want to miss what comes next.
