Singer-songwriter Devin Kennedy helps us navigate the complexities of love in his latest release, “Poetry.” “We live in a world where our expectations of love are created by what we see in movies, TV, and on social media,” he said in a press release. “The ‘honeymoon phase’ and ‘happily ever afters’ get all the screen time, but so rarely do we stop and discuss the hard work and commitment it takes to make a relationship work. That’s what true love is about as far as I’m concerned.” The track, which dropped last week, was followed up with a stripped-down version, which allows Devin’s dreamy vocals and thoughtful lyrics to truly shine. The next time you find yourself at odds with someone you love, put your earbuds in, crank the volume, close your eyes, and let Devin remind you that “the sunshine will always come after the rain.” —Farah Zermane
