PHILINE RELEASES THOUGHT-PROVOKING NEW SINGLE “THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE”

Emerging artist philine is back with a powerful new single, „the devil’s advocate”, a deeply introspective track that explores the nuances of polarization, empathy, and self-doubt in a world that often demands taking sides.

Driven by her own experiences, philine candidly expresses the emotional toll of standing in the middle of opposing viewpoints. “For the last couple of years, I’ve struggled with the feeling I get when I notice all the polarization around me. I’ve noticed that a lot of strong-minded people around me have a hard time really listening to those that have an opposite view on any matter,” she shares. “I often find myself somewhere in the middle, playing the devil’s advocate and trying to make everybody see the other side. The downside to that is that it makes me feel a little lost sometimes. I find it hard to confide in any convictions because I’m too aware that there’s always more sides to every story.”

With „the devil’s advocate”, philine translates these feelings into a raw and heartfelt song, blending compelling lyricism with evocative melodies. The track serves as both a personal reflection and an invitation for listeners to step outside of their own perspectives. “I find it easier to empathize with everybody than having to pick a side and have a strong opinion, which makes me question my own beliefs all the time,” she explains. “I still hope that with this song, I can inspire people to see behind their triggers and beliefs and be able to keep having conversations, especially with the ones that don’t agree with you. Not to convince them, but to find the thing where you do connect.”

Through „the devil’s advocate”, philine encourages a much-needed dialogue in today’s climate—one that prioritizes understanding over division.
