From the forthcoming album, entitled “june”, De’Wayne’s single “sundays” doesn’t ease into your ears, it walks in with purpose. Right away, a gritty guitar progression sets the tone, giving the track a grounded, almost analog feel. The production is clean but not polished to perfection. It breathes, and more importantly, it feels.

The tempo is steady, around 115 BPM, while sitting in that sweet spot between reflection and momentum. It’s not trying to lull you into comfort; it’s trying to hold your attention while telling you something that matters. The drums hit with clarity, giving the track structure without overcomplicating things. It’s a minimalist rhythm section, but effective in keeping the focus right where it needs to be, on De’Wayne’s voice.

And the voice? Honest, slightly worn, and emotionally tuned. He sings like someone mid-thought, like the words came before the melody. His delivery falls between spoken memory and quiet resolve, never theatrical, always human. There’s a tension in how he phrases each line, as if every word is pulled from something personal.

Lyrically, “sundays” reads like a letter to a former version of yourself . The kind you don’t send, but write anyway. He’s not giving us clichés about rest or rituals. Instead, he’s unpacking emotional weight that tends to show up when everything finally slows down. There’s regret in the lyrics, but also a sense of ownership. He’s not wallowing , he’s working it out in real time.

The guitar lines are the unsung narrator here. Whether ringing out in the background or filling space between verses, they give “sundays” a pulse that matches the emotional content, not overpowering, just ever-present, like the way certain memories linger.

“sundays” is alt-rock for people who listen with their whole chest. It’s introspective without being indulgent, raw without being chaotic. De’Wayne isn’t hiding behind metaphors, he’s giving you the kind of clarity that usually takes time (or therapy) to find. A strong, emotionally intelligent single that earns its space with depth, not volume.
