You've already heard Dev on the hit track "Like a G6" by hip hop superstars Far East Movement, which sampled her debut single "Booty Bounce." But this singer is no one-trick pony. Dev has a slew of amazing tracks floating around the internet right now, including "Fireball," an eclectic forray into HipTronik, mixing electro with a touch of reggae. But her style and the song's dreamy interludes remind us of a rougher version of Uffie. The emotion spilling out of Dev's flow and the bass is enough to leave our head spinning. Her dreamy pop tune "Fireball" is not a track you can miss.Hailing from Manteca, California and of Mexican and Portuguese decent, electropop artist Dev infuses her flow with hip hop beats and catchy verses. The Portuguese hip hop spitfire, who was discovered on MySpace by collaborative team The Cataracts, exudes a certain curious confidence in her music that won't fend you off, but somehow makes you more interested in her demeanor. Just like her Far East Movement-sampled mega hit "Booty Bounce", the irresistible beats of this old cut are undeniable, and pretty much the main reason why we can't wait for her new video "In the Dark," to hit in a couple of weeks.
In her new video, Dev is a "fireball," a phoenix rising from the ashes, cycling the Los Angeles bridges in stilletos, smoking a dangerous cigarette, throwing burning packages over bridges. Basically, everything she could legally do with fire. Maybe that's exactly what a fireball is, someone who's so red hot in burning up the charts, you can't take their eyes off of them. Though, we preferred thinking it was an analogy for how she rides her two-wheeler in that getup: fast, dangerously, and ready to hit something at any moment.
If you are going to kill someone, lament a lost love, or burn stuff, according to pop star music video fable, you are to do it on one of Los Angeles many bridges! For a girl who's proclaiming she has so much money that dollar bills are filling her tummy, we're not sure why she's not riding in a tricked-out taxi or even skimming the world's surface on a segway scooter with those two metallic men traveling behind on horseback. But, if Dev likes her stilettos on pedals and her two wheels in front and in back of each other, we've got a feeling that's exactly how they'll stay.
