L DEVINE – BORING PEOPLE
Dua Lipa, Lizzo and Billie Eilish have serious competition coming up for 2020’s biggest new diva/gay icon. After acclaim in the UK press for her uncompromising, openly queer music, L teamed up with Sweden’s hit-making pop producers and Boring People is the result. “It’s basically a song about me getting bored of myself and all my bullshit,” she explained to DNA thoughtfully. “I think the sound of the song itself perfectly mimics the feeling in the lyrics. It has a really grungy, ’90s garage rock feel.” Co-opting Billie Eilish’s winning format (mashing dirgelike guitars with dark groovy beats) this is likely to be L’s divine big breakthrough. With a headline show at legendary London gay venue Heaven, support from pop pals Charl XCX and Lewis Capaldi, and her own podcast (Growing Pains), L Devine is one artist unlikely to bore you!
