Houston-bred rising R&B sensation Dende (@iamdende) is preparing for his new era with his latest single, “Nightmares.” The somber single showcases his impressive storytelling ability and boastful voice. Not many artists are as soulful as the Texas-raised singer/songwriter. Following the success of his latest EP, Before We Crash, Dende is looking to continue his rise to the top. He is known for his “sing outside of your window with a boombox” style of music. The early 2000s-inspired crooner is crafting a lane for himself that few others can fill.
Behind the release of Nightmares
Nightmares was produced by Billy Blunt and directed by Collin P. Donovan. Dende pours his heart out in Nightmares. He sings over a melodic harmony about losing sleep due to a lover no longer being within his reach. The single leaves many listeners in their feelings as Dende expressed through a range of emotion of how nightmares are seen all through the night until sunrise. The single has received lots of praise through its release on social media with a comment from @therealaceofspade: “The type of R&B the game need right now” and then another from @jstephbeats: “Right in the feels”.
