Arriving on the heels of his Fearless Records debut single “synthesizer,” DE’WAYNE has unleashed his brand new track and accompanying video for “lightweight.”
“This song is about the UNDERDOG, the lightweight in the fight…” DE’WAYNE shares in a press release. “I wanted to explore the concept of combining boxing and love in the same song. The idea of not giving up in a fight is equivalent to not throwing in the towel in a relationship or a goal you really want to achieve in life. So I just took that and ran with it on lightweight.”
He continues, “‘lightweight’ is one of those songs where I took some of my real life experiences (what happened that morning) into the studio. It means a lot because it has such a beautiful message to me. The bridge goes, ‘If I take two steps in and you do the same, we might just be alright we might we might.’ I stand firm on that line. That’s the main thing I would want anyone to hear and REALLY feel.”
Unlike his last dance-worthy release, “lightweight” serves as DE’WAYNE’s greatest opus to date. The track is an amalgamation of ethereal soundscapes and sweeping instrumentation, culminating in the ultimate indie-pop daydream that feels like floating on clouds of cotton candy. At the heart of the new release is DE’WAYNE‘s soaring vocal delivery, which serves as the guiding light across the impassioned track. Layered with emotion and vulnerability, DE’WAYNE creates an intimate sonic landscape as he navigates the highs and lows of love with grace…and patience.
