CD Description
“(Dala is) the definitively Canadian duo…has an ear for pop hooks, but writes songs that sound warm and comfortable played on an acoustic guitar with little ornamentation.” —NPR Music Following last year’s incredible debut at the Newport Folk Festival in the US, Canadian female duo Dala have established themselves as one of the of the brightest rising stars on the pop-folk circuit. Comprised of singer-songwriters Sheila Carabine and Amada Walther, Dala draws upon influences like The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Bob Dylan, writing songs that are both catchy and insightful. Amanda’s ethereal soprano voice blends seamlessly with Sheila’s velvety alto, creating the lush harmonies that have become their trademark. The sheer joy with which they perform is infectious, turning first-time listeners into instant fans. Dala’s new album 'EVERYONE IS SOMEONE' was released in Canada last year to critical acclaim. It earned them their fifth Canadian Folk Music Award nomination, a Toronto Independent Music Award for Best Folk Group, and was touted by The Irish Post as the Album of the Year. The song “Horses” was nominated by National Public Radio in the US as one of the Top Ten folk songs of 2009.

By chance I heard one of Dala's songs on the radio........I was captivated by their gorgeous voices and
gentle sound. They are from Canada and not well known yet...in the U.S. Online at CD Baby, I was able to purchase 3 other CD's by Dala....I think this CD...Everyone
is Someone is my favorite....but not by much. All the CD's are excellent and do not disappoint.......these
lovely women are gifted both physically
and vocally......their music will only improve with time. And I will be following their music for as long as I can....

A Perfect Blend of Voices - The Girl Group Sound brought into the 21st Century
17 Jan 2010
Format:Audio CD
At a recent music conference in New York I heard a lot of "buzz" about these two young Canadian women and just had to hear them. A brief - and jam packed - "showcase" led me to this CD, their newest. Amanda (the DA in DALA) and Sheila (the LA in the group's name) are so in harmony on the tracks on this CD that you'd swear that its one voice overdubbed. But its not. All the tracks are beautiful but "Levi Blues" - with its repeating refrain "I'll always come back to you" - is reminiscent of the 60s girl group sound, and stays with you long after the album ends. (The song appears as a cleverly titled "AM Transistor Remix" as the last track.)
They are just starting to appear in the US and once they get airplay here they will become even better known south of the US/Canada border. There are some earlier CDs that I'm going to head to next. Discover DAL now, before all your friends do. Then you can say "I knew them first!".
