(April 2, 2026) - Fresh off of taking over her favorite arcade for a game night in LA last month, Deb Never shares new single “all the time”, accompanied by Vivian Kim-directed music video. Deb’s new song is a tender ballad that captures the tension in feeling deeply connected to someone who’s separated by distance, and how time away can sow doubts. “All the time” is the final early offering from Deb’s forthcoming debut album ARCADE, out May 8th via Giant Music. The album is now available to pre-save on all streaming platforms and a special vinyl edition of the album is now available to pre-order HERE, with art direction by Metals. Deb recently sat with Alternative Press to discuss her debut, expanding on her creative community in LA and how the vulnerability she exudes on the album came naturally as a result of how she wrote it over the course of the last several years.
Musically and thematically, ARCADE is rooted in Deb letting her guard down and showing herself to the world in a resolute personal statement. Her perspective is sharp and rooted in her own experience, as the album charts the lifecycle of a relationship told through vignettes she wrote spontaneously in impromptu sessions with friends and in solitude over the past several years. Collated as a body of work, Deb’s debut is a focused, unshakeably vulnerable debut that’s a testament to the life-altering nature of taking a chance, allowing someone into your life, and reflecting on how they’ve changed you when they leave.
Deb recorded the album with friend and executive producer Romil Hemnani in the middle of a bustling studio, with friends and collaborators like Dominic Fike and boylife coming and going. Yet in that chaos, Deb and Romil crafted a calm, contemplative and painstakingly intimate album that flows together seamlessly, even when the instrumentation sweeps in. That contrast, between the calmness of these songs and how they began in her bedroom and the chaotic restlessness of the studio, grounds the album in Deb’s true life experience. “There's always so much going on, there's always people around me, I'm always surrounded,” Deb says of how ARCADE was made. “But I always felt this singularity and this isolation and in my music is the only time where I can really express that.”
