The Making of a Man, Dating Delilah's debut album, tells an honest story that chronicles a young mans endeavor to cope, in a genuine fashion, with the heartache that has beset him. Some may sneer and call it typical, and they are right. It is typical. But within that story heard so many times in so many different ways there is power. The album is forged with so much feeling and emotion that it creates an aesthetic environment for the listener to live in. Shockingly revealing, and audacious songwriting keep the album fresh and give a new take on the age-old typical teenage drama. By cutting away the flowery language, redundant verbiage, and over-the-top imagery, Dating Delilah has written an album that is so real you almost have to laugh to yourself, as you think, “I have felt that way before.” Dating Delilah’s response to that thought is, “you don’t have to feel that way anymore, or ever again. There is more if you just surrender.”
