Alt-pop newcomer Dan Devlin raises a spirit-raising FECKIN’ SCREAM, which is undoubtedly an emotional roller coaster of bouncy feels on his latest EP, 'SCREAM,' a three-song sonic punch that echoes the chaos, clarity, and catharsis of post-breakup emancipation.
At under nine minutes, "SCREAM" is short, but huge in emotion. With standout single “Better Off” leading the charge, Devlin’s serving up the kind of don’t-give-a-damn bloozy pop that makes you wanna cry, dance, and text your ex “never mind” all at the same time. Slickly produced, with punchy percussion and melodies that stick long after the last note, “Better Off” is an alt-pop essential, a little bit reflective, a little bit anthemic.
Another standout, “Want Me Back,” reverses the script on regret. Vulnerable vocals contrast with driving synths and a hook that lands like closure in real time. Devlin’s voice is cracked with determination, teetering on the knife-edge between heartbreak and healing, and he continues to cement his credentials as an emerging force within emotional alt-pop.
Whether you are recently ghosted or finally over it, "SCREAM" meets you where you are and takes you somewhere you want to be. It’s an assertion of personal liberation, sheathed in glossy production and honed by honesty. "SCREAM" is streaming now on all platforms. For listeners seeking to focus on one song, “Better Off” is the one to showcase.
