✨ A playful groove with hypnotic swagger. 

“In Love The First Time Around (Hypnotised)” blends the smooth confidence of neo-soul with the bounce of funk and the warmth of contemporary R&B. Mid-tempo syncopated drums, lush brass stabs, string flourishes, and percussive hits create a slick, retro-inspired track polished for today’s listeners. The result is flirtatious, joyful, and celebratory — the perfect soundtrack for the magic of first love.

Brought to life through the AI voice of Devyn Cross, this version represents a bold step in the Sammi Dae series: reimagining Luke Carter’s original compositions through distinct AI artist identities. In an industry where image and youth dominate, Carter has built a roster of digital performers — from Sacha Rome to Thea to Devyn Cross — designed to carry timeless songs into the future. Each AI vocalist is carefully crafted to bring unique character, tone, and stage presence to Carter’s music, creating a groundbreaking fusion of human soul and AI face.

With Hypnotised, Devyn Cross delivers a swaggering, dynamic performance, alternating between smooth singing and rhythmic rap-style phrasing. Combined with vintage-tinged instrumentation and modern production sheen, the track channels the charismatic energy of classic soul bands while looking forward into a new era of digital artistry.

🖤 Mood: Flirtatious, Joyful, Confident, Hypnotic
✨ AI Meets Emotion: “In Love The First Time Around (Hypnotised)” is part of Sammi Dae’s multi-artist project, where every track is reinterpreted by AI vocalists. This is not just music — it’s the reimagining of performance itself: a visionary blend of soulful songwriting, indie innovation, and AI-driven artistry from Manchester’s own DGG Productions.

Keep on Walking

Lilac in the Desert

[Verse 1]
This age has melted me down
but left my breath behind—
youth did not kill me
yet its death stayed inside

Lilac I drifted far
shadow on a page of sky—
if love had its time
why did it wait to arrive

[Pre-Chorus]
I carried sparks in the soil
cried to the heavens above—
Every wound in my palm
was a prayer was a love

[Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
you led me where I came

[Verse 2]
I would not speak too soon
my tongue rusted with grief—
the chance of mistakes
the inheritance of belief
Adam's fate was in me
trembling body set alight
thousands of sparks
plunged deep into the night

[Pre-Chorus]
I drank the cloud's essence
without breaking its skin—
Sweat and questions poured
where has it carried man in

[Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
you led me where I came

[Bridge]
There is a fountain soiled and scarred
my reflection in my hand
I said 'it doesn't matter'
yet I was searching for a stand

The city's fire still burning
its wound still speaks in me
I walked on face bent forward
toward a summer I can't see

[Final Chorus]
Lilac in the desert
calling out my name—
restless urge of rivers
pulling through the flames

I was young unbroken
yet broken just the same
Lilac in the desert
I walk and still I came

[Outro]
Lilac oh lilac
I walk on

Lilac in the Desert

Back

I fully expect some people to get creeped out and unfollow but when I used to go to church, I’d get creeped out, so this is that, and fair is fair. I'd probably get arrested in the former Unites States. FYI, I'm not really a witch.

Lyrics:

They say kneel, they say pray, then rub my shoulders and look away.
Bitter tales and the air is stale, and every song scrapes like nails.

Fingers grip far too long and voices wail and they call it song.
Speaking in tongues I can’t translate, and threats of fire if I escape.

Eyes are closed when questions burn.  
God is needy, I have learned.  
Every sermon strokes a fear and every smile masks a sneer.

If I stumble I must pay the vengeance dressed in holy gray.
I hear whispers through the walls judging me with ancient laws.

Close your eyes, eyes that pry, I was born in truth but raised in lies.
Try to mould me, I defy, I’m your fear and I will fly.

No one’s born to kneel or pray, they teach us fear to make us pay.
Books are closed when questions burn but we are here, you never learn.

Hands on eyes, eyes that pry, born in truth but raised in lies.
Try to mould me, I defy, I’m your fear and I will fly

Who I love terrifies you
A coven hidden in your pews
Your God’s a myth and you’re a fake
We live beside you, wide awake
