L Devine shares first taste of her debut album with "Push It Down"

"Push It Down" is the third single of L Devine's to be debuted as Radio 1's Hottest Record.

Speaking of the song which she co-wrote and co-produced with Julien Flew, L Devine says: ""Push It Down" is about trying to suppress emotions and hide any signs of vulnerability. The song’s feelings boil to the surface while I’m failing to mimic my romantic interest’s nonchalance, before eventually erupting into chaos with heavy guitar stabs and unbridled vocals. I wanted to lead with "Push It Down" because I liked how raw and punchy it was, but it doesn’t take itself too seriously, there’s still some humour to it. It feels like a bit of a situationship anthem.”

The accompanying "Push It Down" video was made in collaboration with director Emilio Boutros. L Devine adds: “We wanted to reflect the high anxiety feelings and themes of the song. At the beginning of the video, you see me with a lot of nervous energy, trying to keep composure and stay calm and by the end of the video we see fast cuts of me drowning in smoke and losing control of my emotions.”

"Push It Down" comes off the heels of her two-part EP Near Life Experience.

"Push It Down" is out now via AWAL Recordings.
