On July 1, 2025, three-piece rock band DAKØTA from Iowa released their newest single, “Losing War,” which encapsulates that feeling of wanting a certain life that you can visualize in your mind, but are unable to grasp. The cinematic tone that the single radiates captures the haunting and luring vocals that Dakota delivers throughout the single— with the gentle cleans that shift into the furious, heavier vocals, expressing the emotion of feeling like you are in a constant battle of wanting something, but can’t get it. “Losing War” is a single that truly keeps the listener on their toes because you feel like this isn’t just a song, but also a story that the vocalist and the instrumentation are trying to express in a more creative way. The vocals are very hazy, creating an ethereal vibe, and between the two vocal styles, the single holds deep emotional resonance, creating an explosive soundscape.

“With the release of Losing War, we’ve really discovered who we are musically. This song captures our sound in a way that feels more honest than ever, and we hope it resonates with everyone out there who feels like they’re always one step behind.” – DAKØTA
