DE'WAYNE Drops "lightweight"
On May 8th, DE'WAYNE, who earlier this year announced his signing to Fearless Records, dropped another new catchy single "lightweight." The song is about fighting the good fight and never giving up or giving in.
About the new song, the rock artist says,
"This song is about the UNDERDOG, the lightweight in the fight…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."
'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."
DE'WAYNE is an alternative rock singer from Houston, Texas, who is redefining how it's done by showcasing a raw and tasteful blend of genres. He breaks the rules. His music combines elements of rock, pop, and soul, with a mission to show people we shouldn't live in boxes and neither should our music.
Throughout his nascent career, he has constantly reinvented himself, leaving fans both guessing and thrilled, all the while picking up new ones along the way. The NME called out his ability to be "equally at home belting out throaty howl or indulging in his velvety soulfulness" and praised, "the sense of fun and experimentation that’s crucial to good mainstream-minded rock music is very much alive" that defines DE'WAYNE's music.
PageSix praised the track for its sultry guitars in an exclusive chat with the artist. Read it here.
