rockyourlyricsRYL: Tell us everything about “Move”, your last single, what inspired its lyrics?
-DEVIN K: When I first moved to LA LA LAND (Los Angeles), I was strongly encouraged to pursue a much “popier” style. Now, I feel like I have matured and progressed stylistically to a point where I finally feel like I am confident in who I am and where I want to be, and wanting to know if who I am as an Artist makes you want to “Move.”
