Dixon Dallas, Like Honey | Song Review 🎵

Country singer/songwriter Dixon Dallas keeps things queer, and we wouldn’t have it any other way on the honey-sweet single, “Like Honey.”

“Iain’t ever been too good with my words, but you just look so good it hurts.” You’re pretty fly yourself, Dixon Dallas (Jake Hill). The country music persona of Hill, Dixon Dallas brings a queer perspective to a predominately heterosexual genre. “Like Honey” marks the latest gem from Dallas, where he’s open about his desires.  Written by Dallas, Paul Siefert produced this honey-sweet country cut.

Does “Like Honey” sound like a contemporary country song? Yes, without a doubt.  The songwriting is idiomatic.  The vocals, very ‘masc’ with a twang, ‘fit the bill’ as well. The musical accompaniment checks off the country boxes too.  So, the only thing that differs is the perspective.  Rather than a man singing to a woman, the man is singing to another man. “I know some might not like these words I sing, but I think I found the man of my dreams,” Dallas sings in the second verse, adding, “And I just can’t help lovin’ you out loud.  It shouldn’t be a big deal, but homophobes are gonna be homophobic, unfortunately. Why shouldn’t Dallas’ man “Climb on up, saddle up, and let [him] scream [his] name?” The centerpiece is the chorus, like Dallas’ best songs:

“That boy’s so fine and he’s breaking my back
Working up a sweat, yeah, I like it like that
Making it clap till I see that mornin’ light
(Making it clap till I see that mornin’ light)
He tastes so sweet, somethin’ kinda like honey
Beatin’ it up like I owe him money
Making it clap till I see that mornin’ light
(See that mornin’ light).”

What more can you say but, damn, that’s hot! Keep making sickening gay country bangers, Dixon Dallas!
