With music and lyrics by Nick Dothée and Kevin Ray, "My Own Devices," according to press notes, is a "conglomeration of pop songs that deconstruct what it means to control one’s destiny."
In a statement Dothée said, "In writing this album, I wanted to speak not only to my life experiences, but to those humorous, ironic, and heartbreaking occurrences that affect us all – parental relationships, adolescence, break-ups, even fits of insomnia. This album is about shedding fears, releasing anxieties, and celebrating the joy of living in a positive forward motion."
With Kevin Ray, Dothée also penned "Sleep Tonight," the first single (available on iTunes) from his album "My Own Devices." For more information visit www.NickDothee.com.
