The Houston-born and Los Angeles-based rock artist De’Wayne announced his third studio album ‘June’ set to be released July 30th via Fearless Records. Along with the news, the title track ‘June’ was released. While accessing the duality of humanity and harnessing the divine femininity through music De’Wayne is back with no shortage of soul, sex, sweat, and style. June – both the song and the character – is the heartbeat of this album.
“I wrote ‘June’ because I had to—it poured out of me. I was heavily inspired by Talking Heads and Prince, but I wanted this to reach everybody; Young or old, whatever your background, we all know what it’s like to fall for someone who flips your world upside down. For the fans, I hope this shows that I’ve truly found my voice. I want them to feel my heart in this one—and maybe see a little of themselves in it too,” shares De’Wayne.
These songs are De’Wayne expressing his love, admiration and yearning for her and the title track is an anthem to strut to. It’s bold, powerful and undeniably for ‘June’ as it celebrates the feminine power and divine force she represents to him.
“This is my epic rock love album. I gave everything—blood, sweat, tears, love, sex, spirituality, and truth. Every song was a surrender, and June is the light guiding it all. I wanted to reframe vulnerability as a superpower, not a weakness, and use this record to show my evolution—not just as an artist, but as a human being. I believe this will stand as one of the most powerful rock albums of the year!”
This announcement follows the release of two powerful, anthemic tracks earlier this year ‘biological’ and ‘highway robbery’. With his latest releases he establishes himself as a fearless trailblazer in rock, fusing genres with raw authenticity.
His new record is produced in collaboration with his best friend Dylan Bauld (formerly flor), who shaped about 95% of this record. The melodies came to life with the help of Brandon Colbein a true songwriting assassin who writes hits in his sleep.
Beyond headlining packed shows on multiple continents, De’Wayne and his band have ignited festival stages at Gov Ball, Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds, Bonnaroo, BottleRockand this year’s 101.5 Coachellakick-off party. He most recently announced he will be heading out on a North American tour this June with Red Leather hitting cities including Brooklyn, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Toronto.
