David Marston and Sarah Couch are DejaVilla. The Jamaica-raised tandem distill the sounds of riddim-tinged electronica with future R&B and worldly aromas.
Ahead of their forthcoming studio album Castle With a View, DejaVilla unveil the title track to the LP “Castle With A View” due for release Friday, July 16 via Ultra Music.
DejaVilla map fluid, sexy soundscapes to define the fabric of their signature sound. David and Sarah hail from the vibrant metropolis of Kingston- the capital city of Jamaica where much of their artistic inspiration is found.
Although the duo have been acquainted since their school years, they spent years traveling solo, gathering the inspiration that ultimately led them to their magnum opus in 2017- DejaVilla. As of today, DejaVilla collaborates long-distance between London and Kingston, but no distance can water down their poignant synchronicity.
Producer/songwriter David lives in the United Kingdom crafting ethereal dance riddims while Sarah adds a signature Jamaican flavor via patois-tinged vocals and sensual lyrical prose. Their debut single “Suit A Rebel” in 2018 was a breakout hit signed to Ultra Music followed up by “Feel Me Running Away” featuring Kat C.H.R. In 2019 the duo released “Ochi to Mobay” an ode to sexual liberation and unwavering self-confidence.
Their self-titled debut EP, also released in 2019, was a stepping-stone success that led to a New York City tour where they performed at venues like Alleycat Amateur Theater, Soho House, Harman Store, and Elsewhere. Following a mention in Rolling Stone India and the recent release of “Chocolate in Your Pocket” which saw praise from outlets like Lyrical Lemonade, C-Heads Magazine, Clout Magazine, and many more, DejaVilla announces their next studio album Castle With a View.
The genesis of the album came by the way of their lead single “In The Morning” featuring Shanique Marie of the world-famous dancehall ensemble Equiknoxx. The sexy debut track saw critical acclaim from tastemakers like Lyrical Lemonade, Sheesh Media, Sparky, Hype Magazine, and more. Back with another captivating look at the anticipated LP, DejaVilla unveil the second and final look at the album with the title track “Castle With a View.”
A dance floor romp exaggerated with a jumping electronic beat and agile vocal work, “Castle with a View” is a cornerstone placed carefully within the forthcoming album. Watch this space.
