There’s something wonderfully bittersweet about a pop song born from the kind of situationship that you know probably isn’t going to end well. Rising lesbian pop princess Déyyess is leaning right into those complicated feelings with her latest release, “She’s the Only One”. And honestly, I’m here for the emotional chaos.
Following the compelling May release “Crush,” Déyyess returns with an alt-pop offering that takes aim at the particular pain of loving a girl who simply isn’t going to love you back in quite the way you desperately want her to. You could give her the world, bend over backwards and probably hand her the moon for good measure. Yet somehow it still wouldn’t be enough.
It’s that painfully familiar territory where the heart has already committed, despite the head quietly screaming. And that makes “She’s the Only One” feel particularly relatable. Rather than dressing up the messy reality of a situationship, Déyyess turns it into an emotionally charged pop confession, giving those complicated feelings somewhere to live.
The timing of the release feels pretty perfect too. Recently, Déyyess hosted an exclusive first-listen and movie night in Los Angeles, giving fans an early taste of what she has been cooking up. Now, with “She’s the Only One” out in the world, she is taking that energy this side of the pond.
Even more excitingly, Déyyess has announced UK and Ireland tour dates for November. While a run of pop shows gets underway this week with stops in Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Brighton and London.
With a growing catalogue that clearly isn’t afraid to explore the highs, lows and deliciously complicated corners of queer love. Déyyess is proving there’s plenty more to come. “She’s the Only One” may be about someone who could never give her enough, but thankfully for us, Deyyess is giving pop fans plenty to hold onto. Sometimes the wrong girl makes the right song, and this one certainly knows how to leave a mark.
