L Devine shares new single, "Slippin Away"

Previous singles "Push It Down" and "Miscommunikaty" were premiered on Radio 1 as Hottest Record courtesy of Clara Amfo. The most recent track, "Laundry Day", completed a video trilogy that Devine created with director Emilio Gamal Boutros.

“"Slippin Away"" is my way of taking the piss out of my patterns in relationships. I protect myself a lot in my songwriting by being self-aware and making fun of myself before anyone else can. It’s a tongue-in-cheek love song about smothering someone with love so much that you push them away," L Devine explains.

"Slippin Away" is released alongside L Devine’s session performance filmed for Abbey Road’s Equalise programme. It’s a series of exclusive performance films that illuminate a diverse range of queer voices across music and the wider creative arts.

The programme features intimate performances and interviews filmed at Abbey Road and Angel Studios and was born from the studio’s vision to celebrate creativity and queer artistic expression. The intention for the series has been to celebrate these artists, whilst also shining a light on their queerness and personal journeys as LGBTQ+ individuals. The video was directed by Devon Kuziw.

“The album is a bit of a different direction sonically in that we recorded way more live instruments on it than I ever have before and I think this song especially has a proper band feel to it. So being able to record a live session with Devon at Abbey Road and show people what’s to come on the live side of things was so exciting," she adds.
