Listen to That Don't Mean A Thing / Stressed Out on Spotify. Kyle Dion · Single · 2020 · 2 songs.

Kyle Dion releases 2 new songs, stream 'That Don't Mean A Thing / Stressed Out' here

August 11, 2020 by Toby Boston in Contemporary R&B, Pop, R&B, Soul

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Soulful singer Kyle Dion returns after the success of his album 'Suga' with two sparkling new singles, with the bright 80s synths of 'That Don't Mean A Thing' and the moody bouncy rhythms of 'Stressed Out', capturing a musical expression of Dion's experience throughout the year.

“'Stressed Out' is what the world is feeling right now,” Dion explains. “There’s this thick air of hopelessness, despair and anger that seems to have consumed the world in 2020, but through all of that, there’s also empowerment and this sense of closeness as we’re all going through it together. Then, on 'That Don’t Mean A Thing' I wanted to give a new energy to the world because everything’s so heavy right now. We need more joy, and we forget it is an important part of life to maintain for ourselves, and right now it’s somewhat buried under all the stress that’s currently in the world."

We admire Kyle Dion’s efforts and his passionate energy. We’re looking forward to hearing more for the visionary and encourage everyone else to do the same. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on what’s coming up and enjoy!

Written by: Cassidy King and Tyler Cratcha Produced by: Tyler Cratcha Lyrics: If your loves an ocean Then I’m lost at sea And I’m barely floating But you carry me I need your direction I’m in way too deep I want your affection But it’s lost on me I wish I could find a way to show you how I’m feeling In the deep end I don't wanna fall for you until I know you mean it I’m catching feelings I feel useless I feel weak Is your love wasted on, wasted on me? I feel stupid, so incomplete Is your love wasted on, wasted on me? (wasted on me) I’ve been used before It’s been hard for me Soon as I go for it, they always leave You’ve got good intentions But those don’t run too deep I want your attention, but it’s lost on me (woo!) I wish I could find a way to show you how I’m feeling In the deep end I don’t wanna fall for you until I know you mean it I’m catching feelings I feel useless I feel weak Is your love wasted on, wasted on me? I feel stupid, so incomplete Is your love wasted on, wasted on me? (so waste it on me, woo!) Waste it on, waste it on me (waste it on me, oh) Waste it on, waste it on me (waste it on me) Waste it on, waste it on me (waste it on me, oh) Waste it on, waste it on me So waste it on me
