Du’Lanci Vallie releases new single ‘Leave Me Alone’

The songwriter and producer of hip-hop and R&B music known as Du’Lanci Vallie has released his latest official single, “Leave Me Alone.” It has been proudly published as an independent release without the involvement of the corporate music industry on the TGWEWON record label. Based on rock-solid and undeniable beats graced with unobtrusive but unforgettable bass lines, “Leave Me Alone” introduces Du’Lanci Vallie as one of the most intriguing artists of the year so far.

New York City’s Du’Lanci Vallie is best known as the artist of four popular instrumental projects, “White” (Feb. 2022), “Save Me from Dying” (Sep. 2021), “Checking Out” (July 2021), and “Heartbreak Motel” (Feb. 2021). These have accrued thousands of plays and followers on Spotify as well as other sources. He has been most recently compared to the work of Drake and Asaiah Ziv.

Asked to describe the overall theme of “Leave Me Alone,” Du’Lanci Vallie writes,

“Self-awareness and self-care is the overall theme I base my music around. The top 3 subtopics are mental-health care, relationships which includes love, family and friends, and I make sure to provide the light sent from the most high on each track.”

TGWEWON describes Du’Lanci Vallie as a true descendant of the original NYC hip-hop sound. He has performed live in three of the four corners of North America, Los Angeles, Miami and New York City.

Asked to describe his goal in music, Du’Lanci Vallie had this to say:

“Why not make music if you have the gift? At least, that’s my take on it, and I truly feel one of my best gifts in life is to be able to create music. We all want money but self-expression is hard to come around and music is definitely my tool of expression. A good song is a good song but when it touches those emotional chords in your body, it’s a feeling you crave over and over.”

To fans new and old Vallie writes,

“Stay true to the light inside of you and when it gets dark don’t show fear. You can do anything you put your mind to though I didn’t believe it at first. It took me too long to believe in myself — but if I can overcome storms, so can you. Thank God.”
