You can’t go wrong with a title that’s as suggestive and savvy as Shake A Leg Like Elvis, and that’s probably what renowned music artist Dino Jag had in mind.
Dino’s 2020 supercharged, similarly titled funk-pop release, Can’t Keep Still, was ignited by the 2020 bans on public venue dancing in Australia. The song generated across-the-board radio play and healthy streams and was only kept from the AIR chart’s #1 position by none other than Kylie Minogue.
Dino followed that up with, When the Day Comes, written during a series of online writing and production sessions with Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic, Adele, Ed Sheeran, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney). As Dino says about his new track, ‘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.’ Written and produced by Dino Jag and mastered at Abbey Road Studios by Oli Morgan, Shake A Leg Like Elvis will undoubtedly go on to secure radio and streaming action, like his previous releases, which 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. Shake A Leg Like Elvis has hooks, heart, a joyous kind of Motown vibe, and a vocal performance that nails it, a worthy addition to the Dino Jag’s growing compendium of tracks.
