Renowned South Australian singer-songwriter Dino Jag has returned with a powerful pop-rock track, Shake A Leg Like Elvis. Dino’s new release is his first since 2021’s smash When the Day Comes. Written and produced by Dino Jag and mastered at Abbey Road Studios by Oli Morgan, Shake A Leg Like Elvis is another stand-out release and is sure to attract radio and streaming interest. Dino’s previous songs have been featured on numerous radio networks, including SUPER RADIO NETWORK, GRANT BROADCASTERS – OZ MADE, FLOW FM NETWORK, MOOD MEDIA – IN-STORE, SRN TRIPLE G, SRN HILL FM, PLAY MPE CHARTS, TOP 100 AUSTRALIAN SONGS – ITUNES CHARTS, and AIR CHARTS. As Dino says about his new release, ‘The title of the song came from the phrase ‘you gotta shake a leg like Elvis’, something my dad would often say to me as a kid when I first started singing and playing the guitar. Over the years that phrase stuck with me and evolved into a metaphor for ‘not holding back’. Everyone has a uniqueness to unleash, something to shake out of themself and share with others, something that liberates them. That’s what I’m plugging into with this song.’ Shake A Leg Like Elvis utilises a straight groove with touches of funk and echoes of Motown. Featuring Dino’s trademark soulful vocal take, Shake A Leg Like Elvis captures a personal moment and transforms it into an uplifting musical experience. Surrounding the melodic lines is a host of sonic adornments, including layers of background vocals, an interplay between guitar and bass and rhythmic variations that add depth to the dynamics without detracting from the good-time nature of the song. With Dino’s masterful vocal, a finely honed writing style and a playful allusion to the rock and roll dreamers of the past and the future, Shake A Leg Like Elvis is a memorable musical joyride.
