Half Past Sober

Half Past Sober

DVNA

“Half Past Sober” is DVNA’s fourth single release and came out on April 8, 2020.

Stylistically, this track is more alternative, in contrast to her other songs that fall much more on the polished, sparkly neo-soul side. Speaking to this stylistic difference, and to the meaning of the song as a whole, DVNA explains:

This one’s got a little more substance lyrically. My best friend was dating someone at the time and he was kind of toxic for her, and then I just went home and I wrote about it. This was about 2 years ago. And then every time that I had played it live it was just raw and with my electric guitar, and so many people would come up after the show and they would be like, “That song, you need to release that song.” And so, it took me quite a bit to wrap my head around the fact that it’s not like my other ones. But if people are going to come on my journey, they’re going to follow my music and they are going to like what I have to say and what I put out anyway, so I was super stoked that I got to put it out.“
