‘N.A.S.C.A.R’ by DINER

Music is often said to be the universal language that connects all walks of life. It harnesses a power, typically hard to match, that pulls an array of emotions out of the most agreeable people you’ll ever meet. Whether it be the smooth sounds of jazz, the punchy pitches of rock, or the twangy tunes of country, everyone has a category that moves them most. Musical genres motivate the mind much more than words alone, and this notion is what drives rising country artist DINER to share her tuneful talent with the world.

Taking name inspiration from the quaint eatery run by her parents, DINER holds the country and rock influence with which she grew up, near and dear, as she carries out her dreams of becoming a country superstar. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, she understood how challenging it would be to make a name for herself in the country scene while living in an area so far removed from the genre.

Now residing in Los Angeles, the trendy two-stepper uses her newest single, ‘N.A.S.C.A.R.‘, to showcase how her West Coast upbringing affords her the unique opportunity of cruising in her lane.

NASCAR, well-regarded for its stock car racing, is among the top motorsport companies worldwide. DINER’s latest love anthem keenly displays her knowledge of the racing organization, employing vivacious vocals and relatable lyrics about the bumpy ride of falling for someone who might not be worth the trouble.

She highlights how her newfound flame may “take [her] on a joyride” but simultaneously worries that she’s only “racing toward a broken heart” if she falls too hard. Accompanied by swanky melodies and zestful harmonies, DINER teaches her audience a valuable lesson on the risks of rapid romance, spelling out that her beau is just like ‘N.A.S.C.A.R’.

While songs about incompatible intimacies and harrowing heartbreak are no stranger to the country music genre, DINER attempts to treat her experience as an amusing encounter. Her upbeat approach extends a harmonious hand to listeners, letting them know it’s ok to dance and sing along despite the sad message.

She reaches yet another career high, collaborating on ‘N.A.S.C.A.R.’ with her esteemed musical peers, Emily Reid and Kevin Bard. As the track settles just a few weeks after release, it’s not only replayable but could gear up to be a potential hit for future NASCAR events.

Over the last year, DINER has taken time to reflect on where things began. Trying everything from American Idol to X Factor, she never allowed herself to lose hope of transforming into a West Coast country sensation. After opening for Abbey Anderson, appearing in the Billboard Magazine and Rolling Stone UK Presses, gracing the iHeart Festival and C.M.T. Awards Red Carpets, and performing at Stagecoach 2023, she recognizes that it’s only the beginning.

Whether you are a casual listener or an avid enjoyer, country music remains one of the most feel-good genres. If you’re looking for a musician who’s a fun and fresh addition to the bracket, check out DINER today on her brand new number, ‘N.A.S.C.A.R.’.
