Gold Coast artist DVNA lays her heart bare in her beautiful new single “Half Past Sober.” The track explores a dysfunctional relationship with painful honesty, and I can’t stop playing it.
“My friend told me about her relationship that was equally as passionate as it was toxic. A dysfunctional, heated, electric love affair that probably never should have happened, though glad it did,” DVNA explained of the song’s inspiration. “We’ve all been in situations where feelings aren’t reciprocated. You begin to feel weak, desperate, and slowly turn into a shell of your former self. Pricking your fingers on the staples barely holding the relationship together and learning to love the pain.”
I love the soft intimacy of this song. It’s beautifully understated, with DVNA’s soulful voice and heartbreaking lyrics at the fore. DVNA has plenty of new music in the works. Hopefully this track is a great sign of the things to come.
