Janet Devlin unveils new single “Place Called Home"

Irish singer-songwriter Janet Devlin has dropped their new single “Place Called Home” today.

The song, which can be heard below, is the first single from Devlin’s forthcoming EP titled It’s Not That Deep. Co-written with Johnny Wright (Birdy, Foxes, Fickle Friends), the track comes with an alt-country version.

Devlin said this about the new song:

“The song means many different things for me. It’s about this feeling of wanting too much to find the home that everyone deserves but the lost feeling of trying to find it. I wanted to hide the ‘despair’ feeling with the positive sound of the track, but still keep that hint of melancholy in the lyrics. The idea of ‘living like a rolling stone’ portrays an almost lifestyle choice to the idea but the truth lying with in ‘it’s in my veins but my roots won’t grow.’ That frustration of finding a place but it never quite being the place that I’ll settle into. The verses very much sum me up as a person. That idea of keeping people at a distance in case I end up moving home again. But trying to play it off as a happy choice with the 'I’ve always loved to travel'."

“Place Called Home” is available on digital services right now. Devlin will be performing in the U.K. this month with a pair of gigs in their home country in November. Tour dates can be seen below.
