On Phenomenal, Dar.Ra says -
"The track is about single mothers and the sacrifice they make to keep everything going, a roof over their heads and food on the table. It’s a tribute to them and my own Mum who brought me and my brother up on her own and worked herself to the point of exhaustion to do it. God bless them all".

The forthcoming album (2019) titled 'Planet X' is a unique blend of rock energy and soulful melodies crossing boundaries from those genres plus visiting the world of reggae and country and world music soundscapes. The sound is heavyweight, tight and never lets you down for a second.
Themes on the album include; strong single mothers on the lead single track 'Phenomenal', losing people you love way too soon on a track called 'Rewind', world insecurities on 'Heavier Than Rock n Roll', and love being your drug of choice on 'Heart Shaped Pill’.
