Kevin Devine Shares Third New Single “Override” From Forthcoming Album, ‘Nothing’s Real, So Nothing’s Wrong’ [Stream/Listen]

New York-based songwriter and musician Kevin Devine has shared the third single, “Override” from his tenth forthcoming album, Nothing’s Real, So Nothing’s Wrong due out March 25th.

The highly anticipated LP’s third single, “Override” follows Devine’s two previously released singles, “Albatross” and “How Can I Help You?” His third single “Override” is an attempt to stay grounded in reality, to not be consumed by thoughts and turbulent surroundings, as Devine repeats in the chorus, “I need an override,” pleading to stay afloat, and not be swallowed whole, as the track bounces between chaos and order. The multi-layered verses come in and out, almost in a whisper, as Devine utters, “Detach your shadow / “Go Fish!” your tarot / Fling your unnameable fate at a crease in the wall / Trace your timeline to the moment you flinched / And gently suggest that you don’t let it happen again.”

The override itself is brilliantly communicated sonically as synthesizers and the toll of a bell swell together to become overwhelming, just before the verses come in as a slow moment of peace, a sigh of relief. The track then returns to the emotional tumult, only this time, more refined, refreshed and with a firmer grasp on reality.

“‘Override’ is songs within a song, unpacking the kitchen sink in search of when you flinched, and how not to now, when you last felt safe, and how to get back there, and where the boundaries are, and what a boundary is, and where did I hide the reset key, and can I write my own mantra, and how do I get rooted while the earth moves all around me,” Devine said in a press statement.
