We are very pleased to announce that the melodic new single ‘Cool Like Bob Dylan’ from ‘Dominic Kelly’ is now on our A-List Playlist. As well as hearing this melodic, warm, uplifting and original ballad every couple of hours on the playlist, global and local listeners can also hear it as a special BALLAD POWERPLAY at 8 PM London UK time for the next month.
“Cool Like Bob Dylan” is a song inspired by encouraging my son, myself, and others to be self confident and real. That it’s “cool” to be true to one’s ideals and creativity no matter what people think or the criticisms you receive. Human imperfection, and uniqueness is what will set us apart in the age of AI. An homage to the iconic musical poet trailblazer Bob Dylan, it began one day when I told my son just “Be Cool Like Bob Dylan” As Bob once said, “All I can do is be me, whoever that is.”
