DE’WAYNE is back with “highway robbery”—a high-energy rock’n’roll anthem that finds him in his purest form. Blending shimmery guitars, soulful funk-infused vocals, and two-step ready drums, the track channels influences from Ohio Players and late 90s Lenny Kravitz, all while staying boldly modern.
Accompanying the single is a visually striking music video, bringing the song’s rebellious energy to life with vibrant colors, electrifying performances, and DE’WAYNE’s signature charisma.
“The title was inspired by a heartfelt connection with my partner. She didn’t literally steal my heart—but I left the door wide open for it. I wrote this song as a poem first, and it evolved into this rock’n’roll soul influence. It feels good to be locked in!” says DE’WAYNE.
With “highway robbery,” DE’WAYNE cements his place as a fearless force in rock, fusing genres with raw authenticity.
About DE’WAYNE
Shedding any and all creative inhibitions, DE’WAYNE plays rock ‘n’ roll spiked with funk, R&B, alternative, and magic. Accessing the duality of humanity, he harnesses the divine feminine through musicality manifested loud with no shortage of soul, sex, sweat, and style.
Emerging in 2017, the Houston-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer has amassed tens of millions of streams across STAINS [2021], My Favorite Blue Jeans [2022], and I WANT YOU MORE THAN ANYBODY WANTS YOU EP [2024].
In the wake of the latter, UPSET placed him on its cover and urged, “it’s time to sit up and pay attention” to DE’WAYNE. KERRANG! went as far as to christen him “one of the most electrifying new performers in the alt. world today.” He has established himself as the rare force of nature equally comfortable on a track with either Chase Atlantic and Masego, IDKHOW, Waterparks, grandson, WILLOW, Good Charlotte, and Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine.
Beyond headlining packed shows on multiple continents, DE’WAYNE & his band have ignited festival stages at Gov Ball, Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds, Bonnaroo and BottleRock.
His music may have brought him close to the divine feminine in the past, but he finally learned how to open his eyes and gently embrace it—which is exactly what he does on his new music. Inspired by Lenny Kravitz, Parliament Funkadelic, Marvin Gaye, Ohio Players, Bill Withers, Nina Simone, Prince, Brandon Flowers, and Bruce Springsteen, he levels up as a proud black man, a son, a friend, a leader, an artist, and lover.
