Dagenham, East London’s finest Devlin is back with his latest track POPULAR FASHION, ahead of his highly anticipated album EYES FOR THE BLIND
A true UK original returns to the sound sphere, as Rap icon Devlin teases his latest offering ‘Popular Fashion’ taken from his highly anticipated project ‘Eyes For The Blind’, a timeless body of sound displaying issues in modern society, shadowed by ignorance and misguidance.
The legendary rapper’s new emotive track ‘Popular Fashion‘ is a flawless production in which Devlin explores the enlightenment when finding your own creative path. Through heartfelt, swirling synths and sharp percussive hits, the emcee displays his visions from young while staying completely original to himself and not confining to societies constructs. Motivating listeners to strive to be their best selves and flourish in creativity. Devlin expresses,
“I don’t want to replicate no one that came before me, in my brain from very young, I was on my own thing”.
After dropping a plethora of singles in 2021 including a chilling Mixtape Madness feature, the London-based rapper shifts his vision onto 2022 with his full-length piece ‘Eyes For The Blind’, an album bursting with raw musicality and instinctive real rap lyricism backed by a cut-throat message about the downfalls of street life, set for release February 11th. Illustrating the euphoric feeling of breaking down confinements in society and truly living for the no, Infectious instrumentals lay perfect bedding for Devlin’s classic storytelling bars.
From rapping on Pirate Radio at age 13 to collaborating with some of the biggest artists in the UK including Ed Sheeran, Skepta, Wretch 32, and JME, Devlin has acquired a fluent ability to create smash hits and has crafted an astounding discography over the last 16 years. Most notably his acclaimed debut project ‘Bud, Sweat, and Beers’, reached 21 in the UK Album Charts and placed him in the prestigious BBC Sounds of 2010.
In over a decade of music-making, Devlin is still at the top of his game. His consistent dominance has fuelled him to create timeless tracks that sing out across all generations. With continuous support from the likes of The Guardian, The Independent, and NME to name a few, we anticipate another landmark release for the legendary emcee.
