Award-winning Sydney-based alt-pop artist Nick de la Hoyde releases his brand-new single, “Devotion,” via Gatcombe Music.
“Devotion” is about awakening from the hyper-focus of blind ambition to the realization awareness that there’s more to life.
Nick explains, “It’s so easy to get so wrapped up in where you want to be and the future that you envisioned for yourself that the rest just turns to noise. ‘Devotion’ is a track about that drive, that ambition, that blocks out everything around you. The journey becomes non-existent – it’s all about reaching the final ambition. All it takes is the right person to make you open your eyes to the love and the journey you were shutting out.”
