NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Following the release of his MusicRow dubbed “impressive debut, reminiscent of the titanic Luke Combs,” Dalton Dover delivers “Baby I Am” via Droptine Recordings, a tribute to his wife Faith that has already resonated with the Georgia-native’s 415K fans on TikTok.
“All the fans are telling me they're planning to use it for their wedding song! I can’t think of a more flattering compliment as that. For my music to be a part of their lives is incredible,” shares Dover. “I’ve never had a response to a song like this.
“When we were recording the song, I told producer McV (Matt McVaney) I wanted to hide this and not say anything to Faith as I wanted this to be a song to her – well, if you’re married, you know you can’t hide something like that from your wife,” he laughs. “It’s even better though as now I get to sing it to her.”
Written by Jason Gantt, Dan Isbell and Nate Smith, “Baby I Am” is a magnetic love song, filled with endearing lines showcasing Dover’s adoration and devotion for his high-school sweetheart turned wife Faith:
Baby I Baby I Am
Falling even deeper in love
With every single kiss from your lips
You’re drivin’ me crazy
And every time you touch me
Baby baby I know
You’re the only one that I need
If you wonder if I might be your
Love you til the day I die kind of man
Baby I, Baby I Am
With the release “You Got A Small Town,” Dover’s debut release on Droptine Recordings, Billboard boasted, “the song’s tale is lifted by blazing guitar lines and Dover's soaring vocals, transforming the track into a smoky love letter to small towns,” while MusicRow shared “Dover is a forceful, confident singer with plenty of grit and swagger in his delivery…the small-town Georgian displays impressive range and volume on this salute to rural roots.”
Dover, with the help of his wife, created a popular series for his followers on TikTok called #CatchMeOffGuard, with his first medley garnering over 4 million views and gaining him early praise from the likes of Jimmie Allen, Luke Combs, Kidd G and Kameron Marlowe.
“We were sitting at the house on a Friday night and Faith started tossing out songs for me to sing and she happened to be filming it,” Dover elaborates. “It’s now one of our favorite things to do, toss out songs we love from artists we admire and see how we can mash them up with the music I've been creating.”
Dover is set to release new music throughout the remainder of 2021. For the latest follow along on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter
About Dalton Dover
Twenty-three-year-old Dalton Dover first started singing at church as a kid, winning his fifth-grade school talent show performing Justin Bieber’s “Baby.” In that moment Dover’s love of performing was born. By the age of 16 he had picked up a guitar and started teaching himself to play, yet it was his grandfather who turned him on to country music and artists such as Keith Whitley, Rhett Akins, Joe Diffie and Steve Wariner. Enamored with the honesty and storytelling found in country music, Whitley’s “Don’t Close Your Eyes” was the first song Dover taught himself to play on guitar. Performances at local bars soon followed along with sharing covers of some of his favorite songs on TikTok. It was there he caught the ear of producer Matt McV and A&R Veteran and founder of Droptine Recordings, Jim Catino, who quickly signed Dover.
Married to his high school sweetheart, Faith, the two have lived in the same rural Georgia small town, population 1,200, all their lives, important for the Dovers to give their two young children, Taylon and Alyiah, the same idyllic childhood they had growing up — the life one finds in a small town. And it’s that pace and familiarity he enjoys so much that he sings about on his debut track “You Got a Small Town,” produced by McV and available now on Droptine. Dover is set to release new music throughout the remainder of 2021. For the latest follow along on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter
