Jimmy Nevis comments on “Secret Lovers”
“I wrote this song as a tribute to the couples who’ve had to fight for their love. For those who’ve felt unseen, like they needed to hide their love, felt judged or shame from their families or communities. Queer couples, interracial couples, people from different religions… And so many others.”

What makes this release even more unique is Nevis’s innovative approach to its creation. Engaging directly with his dedicated followers and fans on social media,
Nevis solicited their input in shaping the musical direction of ‘Secret Lovers’.Through various reels and interactions, he sought advice and feedback, ultimately incorporating their perspectives into the song’s composition, melodies, and overall vibe.

“I wanted to do something different, find a new way to create. Get my followers involved in the process. So often people don’t know the magic that happens behind the scenes of a song that they love.”
With ‘Secret Lovers’, Jimmy Nevis aims to foster unity and celebration, encouraging listeners to cherish the love they have and to stand proudly against prejudice and discrimination.
