JAMAICA - Reggae crooner Duane Stephenson is embracing the laid-back relationship vibe with his latest single Weekend Dude.
The single acts as the lead track from his latest album project, also called Weekend Dude, that was officially released while the artiste was on his European tour earlier this summer.
Stephenson sees the Weekend Dude album as a quest to not take oneself so seriously, especially after surviving COVID-19. The single Weekend Dude talks about a situation-ship or a weekend relationship that is easy and fun. “After COVID we all needed a break, man; learn to relax and not take everything too seriously. Being a weekend dude isn’t for everyone, though, it depends on where you are in life,” the artiste explained
He also believes that the weekend relationship experience is more common than people are willing to admit, and many individuals have had this experience at some point, especially in their youthful dating life experiences. “People will relate to Weekend Dude because it is a part of life, and most have had that kind of a relationship. Nowadays more and more people prefer that hassle-free relationship experience and…are really invested in the freedom, it seems.” Stephenson added. This whole concept will play out in the recently recorded visuals for the Weekend Dude single, which should be ready for release later this month as album promotion ramps up. (Jamaica Observer)
