Dahlia Dumont – Consent

An electronic rock musical theater track that explores the idea of when we say ‘yes’ but we meant ‘no’ but didn’t know how to say it, “Consent” is the third single to drop this year in advance of Dahlia Dumont’s (The Blue Dahlia) third full-length studio album Fantasia (to be released on April 25, 2025, via Single Bel).

A transatlantic “family” of international musicians based in NYC and Paris, Dahlia Dumont’s The Blue Dahlia is known for their high-energy mix of accordion and ukulele-colored folk, dancehall, reggae, soul, and jazz, topped off with fantasy, and lyrics in both French and English.

Through her eclectic and internationally-inspired songs, Dahlia explores issues of society and the human condition; from feel-good voting anthems to a cumbia-rap that questions US gun culture; from a surrealist jazzy-French tune on suicide to an electro-folk-rock on the grey area of consent, interwoven with songs about love, jealousy, sexuality and spirituality.

Originally from Brooklyn, singer-songwriter and ukulélé-ista Dahlia Dumont began the project in 2012 with NY musicians hailing from Mexico, Japan, several Latin American countries and all over the US. Dahlia, herself a product of immigrant parents from the Middle Eastern and Eastern Europe, always filled with wanderlust for music and culture, traveled from a young age, especially to France and Senegal, picking up French as a second language. Following her first music tour to Paris in 2015, Dahlia expanded her “Blue Dahlia family,” linking up with Paris-based musicians. Dahlia now lives and performs between the two countries, and works regularly with both the NY and Paris bands.

The music has a strong improvisational component. All TBD musicians bring their own cultural and musical influences into the live performances.

Dahlia previously independently released two albums and four singles. She is currently working on her third album, titled ‘FANTASIA,’ produced by the French record label SINGLE BEL.
