In his recent single "i really thought," davey opens a tender, muted window into that slack and hazy distance between love and loss, the bittersweet headspace where reflection meets openness. Inspired by Lo-Fi and Alternative R&B, he delivers a raw, vulnerable track that is both intimate and relatable.
"i really thought" pulls you into its dreamlike ether and a distant echo that echoes the faint sting of memories unable to entirely disappear. davey's singing is soft and haunted, about the burden of a broken heart without capitulating to despair. It's the kind of performance that lets you live with your feelings rather than run from them. davey allows silence, tone, and mood to do the storytelling. There was an intention behind every beat, as though a slow, hurting heart were pulsing out the end of what used to be beautiful.
It's an approach that suits the song's introspective theme just fine. "i really thought" is a meditation on what love leaves behind. The lo-fi textures make it seem warm, like playing a memory on an old cassette. davey captures that quiet afterlife of love, when the world seems to travel more slowly and each sound carries extra weight. davey becomes a more confident leader and establishes his own Indie R&B vibe, one that prioritizes mood over precision, honesty over showmanship.
