Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, and sometimes all we need is a guitar tone to get us high. Serving up the latest hit is Dea Doyle, the London singer-songwriter who throws it back to the glory days of ’90s alt-rock with her riffing new single “Over You.” And true to that ’90s mentality, the gritty track, which elicits sonic memories of the likes of Everclear and Sheryl Crow, is all about well-worn Gen X independence and the need to never need anyone (with some on-brand self-doubt thrown in at the end, for good measure).
“I wrote this song at a time in my life where I felt liberated, thinking if I can get over someone I once loved then maybe I’ll never need anyone ever again,” Doyle says. “At the very end of the song I do flip the idea on its head and question whether I truly am over them, but on a whole it’s about feeling emotionally detached and regaining my independence.”
Feel that high with Dea Doyle below, throw it back to a simpler time, and stay tuned for more.
