DE’WAYNE’s “highway robbery” Is an Alt-Pop Anthem Made for Arenas
In need of a new anthemic alt-pop icon to get in on before they take over the scene? Look no further than DE’WAYNE.
The Houston-born, LA-based alt-rocker packs a punch in his boundary-less tunes, and is stepping into a shiny new era of his music with his latest single, “highway robbery.”
“highway robbery” is a song fit for arenas, delivering the gut-punch invocation of classic rock in a package of pure pop finesse. The verses coast with cool restraint as DE’WAYNE flaunts his falsetto, beckoning listeners into his sonic dreamscape. Then, it’s a torrent of pop-rock bliss as the chorus hits with a wall of vocal harmonies. DE’WAYNE lets his voice reach anthemic highs – in range, and power – as a guitar countermelody shreds beneath him. There are elements of icons like Freddie Mercury in the untamed rock energy, but the pop sensibilities ring oh-so-true within the production by Dylan Bauld Sheffield (flor, MisterWives, Halsey, MARIS).
DE’WAYNE’s delightful release is accompanied by a music video for “highway robbery.” Listeners are invited to a sunset-draped motel as the most picturesque backdrop for the song. DE’WAYNE and his band, leather-clad and stage-ready, perform the song, and it’s just the vibe “highway robbery” deserves.
