Deb Never hasn’t released her own music since April of 2023, so needless to say, her next single was highly anticipated. It came as a surprise when she announced her first single of 2024, “Not In Love,” via Instagram on October 8th. The song is soft and intimate, feeling like it should be enjoyed with a lover over a cup of hot coffee. There’s fondness in the way she sings, “I’m not in love / I’m just a fool for you / I’m not in love / Unless you want me too.”
I’ll admit, it wasn’t what the vibe I had expected at all. As I said, there’s a certain intimacy in this song that makes it feel like she’s speaking directly to someone, like she wants every word to be heard loud and clear. It’s one of the many things I love about Deb, she’s able to slow it down just as much as she’s able to pick up the tempo in her music. The delicacy and intention is evident; she’s found a way to communicate these dream-like feelings in a gentle way.
Her music as a whole is hard to describe. She bounces around genres regularly, always defying expectations and bringing something new to the table. The hope is that this is the beginning of a new era. I’m so ready to hear what else she comes out with soon, it’s been too long since 2023’s “Thank You For Attending.” As she continues to tease her fans with signs of new music, the excitement only grows.
