Dhevine: All my friends
Budding new star Dhevine recently dropped his latest track, “All my Friends", a song on reflection, comparison and finding your footing through each struggle. In this simple yet depth-filled Afropop song, Dhevine captures his feelings well and passes a message of hope. He sings earnestly about the issues of standing out, the struggle of the waiting season, and the loneliness that comes as you stay daring to dream. Beyond that, he touches on the comparison that sneaks up on you and a relentless feeling of being stuck in your mind, the feeling of falling behind. Yet despite how bleak and narrow things feel, he remains guided by a strong conviction that things will certainly turn out alright. Feeling kind of low and stuck in a state of comparison? Check out “All my Friends”
