Dee Lucas Shares a Heartfelt Performance with New Single "Never Go Away"
Dee Lucas continues to build his place in contemporary smooth jazz with music. Originally from Tanner, Alabama, and now based in Atlanta, Georgia, he has spent years creating a sound that connects with listeners through melodies and heartfelt performances. His musical path has been shaped by legendary artists including Miles Davis, Grover Washington Jr., George Howard, Ronnie Laws, Frankie Beverly, John Coltrane, and Stevie Wonder. Their influence can be heard in his smooth style while he continues to develop a sound that is uniquely his own. His current single, ‘Never Go Away’, gives fans a preview of what is to come as he prepares for the release of his upcoming album, Heart & Soul Volume 1. The recording also marks an important step in his career by introducing listeners to a different side of his musicianship.
One of the biggest moments during the creation of the single was Dee Lucas making his debut on the tenor saxophone. Known primarily for playing the soprano saxophone, stepping into a new role brought both excitement and uncertainty. He worked closely with producer Caleb Middleton to become comfortable with the instrument and to create a performance that felt natural. Together, they decided that a ballad would be the right choice because it allowed him to slow down, focus on each note, and express the song with honesty and feeling.
Beyond its beautiful melodies, ‘Never Go Away’ carries a meaningful message. Dee Lucas hopes the song reminds listeners to keep moving forward and stay committed to their goals no matter what challenges they face. Through patience and dedication, he wants people to remember that success often comes from refusing to give up. Dee Lucas continues to grow as an artist and he remains focused on creating music that speaks from the heart while exploring new creative paths.
