Dev London’s new single “Spell On Me” casts an emotional haze of love, confusion, and heartbreak. Released on April 11, 2025, and co-written with London Lawhon, the song is an R&B-pop slow-burner, churning up raw vulnerability and confessional intensity. Produced by Fantom Music and recorded at Sacramento’s Prodigy Muzix Studio, the single encapsulates that all-too-familiar dynamic of a love that keeps pulling you back in.
“Spell On Me” opens with a brooding ambiance, gentle guitar strums swirling with atmospheric tension. When Dev London begins to sing, his voice is breathy, warm, and exposed, laying bare his vulnerabilities with his heart on his sleeve. There’s no dramatic pause, no guarded delivery. He pours his heart out in one steady flow, line after line, as if trying to exorcise the feelings he can’t shake. He doesn’t just tell you a story, he’s out there trying to make you feel like you’re reliving your own, and refeeling all those stressful emotions, wound up in the same old frustrations all over again.
Then the chorus hits, and everything intensifies. The beats thump harder, sharper, like the pounding of a heart, and Dev sings needily and sonorously, embodying that devastating emotional mix of longing and resentment, when someone feels like both a curse and a comfort. It’s messy, magnetic, and utterly relatable.
What makes “Spell On Me” so gripping is the honesty. Listen to the emotional aftermath of a breakup in London’s single on Spotify.
