L Devine & INDIIA releasea a brand new song titled Naked Alone. 21-year-old singer L Devine, who released her sophomore EP Peer Pressure in November 2018, and tells HuffPost UK about how she feels proud to have a platform to represent queer women, and how her special relationship with young fans influences her work. Liv – who took on L Devine as her stage name after discovering a porn actress was already using her actual name – has never tried to hide her sexuality, but on Peer Pressure, she addresses queer themes and her experiences as a young LGBTQ+ person, in a way she’d not done before.
At the heart of the EP is Daughter, unquestionably one of L Devine’s most personal songs to date, sung from the perspective of a young woman whose girlfriend’s mother is unhappy with her daughter being in a same-sex relationship.
“It goes against everything you taught her,” Liv sings on the chorus. “But I’m sorry, miss, I’m in love with your daughter.”
“It’s something that actually happened to me,” she recalls, when asked about the meaning of the song. “A few years ago I was in my first relationship and, you know, everything was beautiful. It was unbelievable, it was my first love, the first time I’d ever been with a girl, and I’d never felt more myself.
