Déyyess Takes Flight on Dreamy Queer Pop EP 'Would You Go Down On A Girl?'

Déyyess has been quietly building something special. The London-based artist’s latest EP, Would You Go Down On A Girl?, released 14 November 2025, arrives as a fully-formed statement of queer longing, wrapped in production that glows with an almost supernatural warmth.

Across five tracks, she creates a space where desire, uncertainty, and hope blend into something genuinely moving.

The EP opens with “Lights Off,” co-written with PHOEBE AXA, a track that immediately establishes the project’s emotional territory. 

Here, Déyyess navigates the messy reality of being someone’s secret, singing about a girl who returns to her boyfriend but can’t stop thinking about her. 

The production, handled by Nick Hahn during sessions in Oslo, builds layers of synth that feel like breathing, expanding and contracting around her vocals. 

Her voice carries an eerie quality, floating above the instrumentation with an iridescent brightness that somehow illuminates darker spaces. 

Lines like “She kissed me on the mouth, then she took off all my clothes” arrive without shame or apology, just honest recounting of stolen moments.

“Lips Like Sugar” shifts the mood into pure fantasy. Co-written with Megan Learmonth, the track captures that specific torture of having a crush you can’t shake.

The nostalgic production nods to ’90s pop without copying it wholesale, creating something that could soundtrack a coming-of-age film where the protagonist actually gets the girl.

Déyyess has described it as “not knowing whether the tension is real or in your head,” and that uncertainty pulses through every verse.

The repeated refrain about lips like sugar becomes hypnotic, mimicking the way a crush occupies your every thought.

Then comes “Interlude,” a minute-and-a-half pause that feels necessary. Sombre piano keys open into a melancholic dream sequence.

It’s a beautiful, brief moment that lets you breathe before the EP’s second half. Her vocals repeat “I just want her to stay” like a meditation, or a prayer to someone who probably won’t answer.

“She Knows” brings the stakes higher. The track follows the moment when Déyyess spots a girl in a café and can’t stop staring, wishing hard enough that maybe it’ll become real.

Then, inevitably, “I guess now she knows.” The production here shimmers with anxiety and excitement in equal measure. It’s the sound of being seen, for better or worse, and the vulnerability that creates.

The title track closes things out with the EP’s most direct question, and Déyyess’ self-proclaimed favourite from the collection. “Would You Go Down On A Girl?” doesn’t hide behind metaphor or suggestion. 

Written about crushing on someone whose sexuality you’re not even sure of, the track captures “the tension, the confusion, the yearn” of that specific queer experience. Over euphoric production that builds into something almost transcendent, she asks what she wants to know. 

The outro’s repetition turns the question into a mantra, confident and unapologetic.

What makes this EP work so well is how Déyyess balances universal feelings with specifically queer experiences.

Anyone who’s had a crush will recognise themselves here, but she never sanitises the queer-specific tensions: the wondering if someone’s into girls, the secrecy, the directness required when you can’t rely on assumed heterosexual scripts.

The production throughout maintains a dreamlike consistency without becoming monotonous. Hahn’s work creates lush soundscapes that feel expansive, giving Déyyess’ vocals room to float and dive.

The nostalgic quality running through these tracks never tips into imitation; instead, it taps into that timeless feeling of young desire that every generation rediscovers.

Would You Go Down On A Girl? positions Déyyess as an artist worth watching. She’s crafting queer pop that doesn’t compromise its specificity for broader appeal, trusting that honesty will find its audience. Based on this evidence, she’s absolutely right.
