Stream: “june” – DE’WAYNE
DE’WAYNE is strutting into a new era, and he’s doing it with style, swagger, and soul.
“june” is a flame-lit anthem – electrifying, seductive, and sonically untamed. Equal parts funk and punk, pop and rock, it’s a genre-defying sizzler that grooves with the fearless charisma of Prince, the eccentricity of Bowie, and the rhythmic pulse of Talking Heads, all while being unmistakably and unapologetically DE’WAYNE. The title track off his upcoming third album (june, out July 30 via Fearless Records) doesn’t just mark a return – it’s a reintroduction, a transformation, and a full-bodied celebration of love, desire, and divine femininity.
Me and June go to the city
around 9 a.m. and get really drunk
We roll up into the 7-Eleven
like we were dropped from Heaven
and ripped a couple mini shots
We got hit by cameras, we’re no example
Yet everybody still wanna watch
And I kissed her hand though we were just friends
I’m enamored by the way that she loves me
Built on raw guitars, real drums, and a bass line that oozes heat, “june” captures the visceral rush of falling head over heels – the kind of love that flips your world upside down and makes you feel alive in your skin and bones. “Her name is June, and I think she’s pretty cute, and she got that kinda thing that should be studied in school,” DE’WAYNE sings with a wink and a snarl, teetering between reverence and rebellion. “And she got the kinda fire that makes me lose my cool, plus she got me going ahhhhhh…” It’s hot. It’s heavy. It’s fun as hell. And it’s dripping in that DE’WAYNE magic – the kind that makes you want to dance, scream, kiss, and jump out of your skin all at once.
Her name is Junе,
and I think she’s pretty cute
And shе’s got that kinda thing
that should be studied in school
And she’s got that kinda fire
that makes me lose my cool
Plus, she got me going (Ah),
her name is June
“I wrote ‘June’ because I had to – it poured out of me,” DE’WAYNE shares.
“I was heavily inspired by Talking Heads and Prince, but I wanted this to reach everybody; young or old, whatever your background, we all know what it’s like to fall for someone who flips your world upside down. For the fans, I hope this shows that I’ve truly found my voice. I want them to feel my heart in this one – and maybe see a little of themselves in it too.”
“‘June’ came from a real transformation in my life,” he continues. “It’s about meeting someone – or something – that shifts your entire world. For me, that was this divine feminine energy I call June. A beautiful guiding force in my life and music. The song captures that first moment of connection. Sonically, I wanted it to feel like falling in love and waking up at the same time – raw guitars, real drums, but with warmth and soul.”
Me and June go good like burgundy lipstick
stuck to a bottle of champagne, yeah
Every time we get around each other
makes me wanna dance the night away
We got hit by cameras, we’re no example
Yet everybody still wanna watch (I let ’em watch)
And I kissed her hand though we were just friends
I’m enamored by the way that she loves me
“June” is so much more than a name – it’s a force. A character. A muse. A guiding light.
“These songs are me expressing my love, admiration, and yearning for her,” DE’WAYNE explains. “The title track is an anthem to strut to. It’s bold, powerful, and undeniably for ‘june,’ as it celebrates the feminine power and divine force she represents to me.” That admiration radiates through every line – from the playful lyrics and cheeky callouts to the groove-heavy arrangement that practically glides across the floor. This is a love song, yes – but it’s also a liberation.
“This is my epic rock love album. I gave everything – blood, sweat, tears, love, sex, spirituality, and truth,” DE’WAYNE reflects. “Every song was a surrender, and ‘june’ is the light guiding it all. I wanted to reframe vulnerability as a superpower, not a weakness, and use this record to show my evolution – not just as an artist, but as a human being. I believe this will stand as one of the most powerful rock albums of the year.”
Her name is June,
and I think she’s pretty cute
And she’s got that kinda thing
that should be studied in school
And she’s got that kinda fire
that makes me lose my cool
Plus, she got me going (Ah),
her name is June
She got me going, she got me good
She got me feeling like a player probably should
She always stunting, don’t play with her
See, that’s the type of girl that I deserve
There’s no mistaking the fire in his delivery or the freedom in his sound.
“june” is a spiritual awakening disguised as a sweaty night out – and DE’WAYNE is our preacher, our partner, and our provocateur. He’s not following the rules; he’s rewriting them. With every beat, every shout, every twist of melody, he proves that rock music isn’t just alive – it’s evolving, expanding, and dancing in the light of something divine.
Let’s be clear: “june” isn’t just a song. It’s a statement. And DE’WAYNE? He’s the future.
Her name is June, and I think she’s pretty cute
And she’s got that kinda thing
that should be studied in school (Ah, yeah)
And she’s got that kinda fire
that makes me lose my cool (Lose my cool)
Plus, she got me going (Ah)
Her name is June,
and I think she’s pretty cute
And she’s got that kinda thing
that should be studied in school
And she’s got that kinda fire
that makes me lose my cool
Plus, she got me going (Ah),
her name is June
