If you've been creating holes in silence, this could be the song you've been waiting for

  • January 22, 2020
  • Peter Robinson

The Boring People cover shot might look like it's been algorith­mic­ally created by a program that's been fed thousands of images of Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift's Lover 'aesthetic' but it's def­in­itely one of the two best songs to appear online last night. L Devine made the song, literally conjuring it from thin air, creating something where once there was nothing, with the highly competent Ali Payami.

The song got its first play on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show last night, with 'L' explain­ing that it's "a song about me getting bored of myself". To which Annie Mac's reply was "I'm sure a lot of people will relate", which seems a bit harsh, par­tic­u­larly con­sid­er­ing this is probably L Devine's best single yet, but there you go.
