Dura Hale has never been more ready to hit the radio with his new single, "That’s My Girl". After coming off a 2006 victory at the Independent Musicians World Series Dura is ready to step back into the limelight and hit rhythmic and top 40 radio hard with this energetic, colorful and live single. That’s My Girl has a great old school hip-hop groove and lyrics that are reminiscent of a mid to late 80's MC. The track is extremely bouncy and sure to get the females in the club on the dance floor. Major record labels have been checking for Dura since 2005 and once this single hits the charts they are bound to be knocking down the proverbial door!
