Charlotte, North Carolina newcomer DEVN introduces his singular sound on his long-awaited debut EP St. Luke St, released today on all digital streaming platforms via Dho Knows Enterprises/Soulspazm. A masterwork of contemporary R&B and Trap Soul infused with Afrobeats and Pop Rap, St. Luke St. is largely inspired by DEVN’s romantic experiences during his formative years, examining love as a novelty through the lens of earned wisdom. Featuring the singles “Foreva”, “I Need That”, and “Freak Freak”, the EP’s lyrics were freestyled, yet inspired by general ideas and real life experiences, which DEVN has extensively journaled about over the years.
“‘St. Luke’ is the name of the street I grew up on. It’s where everything started. I learned so much growing up here. I recorded and produced my first song at a neighbor’s house, and met my first girlfriend across the street from my grandmother’s house, which gave me an idea of what ‘love’ felt like. These experiences in life helped shape this project.” – DEVN
