Directed by: Charles Mehling
Stereophonics’ “Dakota,” released on February 28, 2005, is a notable track from their fifth studio album, *Language. Sex. Violence. Other?*. This song marked a significant milestone for the band, becoming their first and only single to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart. The accompanying music video, directed by Charles Mehling, was filmed in South Dakota, USA. It features the band on a road trip, passing iconic landmarks such as Mount Rushmore, capturing the essence of the song’s expansive feel. “Dakota” received critical acclaim for its anthemic sound and marked a departure from the band’s earlier work, embracing a more polished, alternative rock style. The track’s success extended beyond the UK, earning spots on various international charts and becoming a fan favorite in Stereophonics’ live performances.
