“Think I’m Falling in Love” is the new single by the Chicago Soul outfit The Devonns. This is the second single from the band, which is now working in the studio with Brian Wilsons’ Paul Von Mertens (Mavis Staples, Paul McCartney) on their debut LP.

Following the success of the debut single “Come Back”, “Think I’m Falling in Love” is an uplifting soulful track heavily inspired by the sound of The Impressions and Leroy Hutson. Recorded at Kingsize Sound Labs in Chicago, the song relies on the band’s steady groove and it is enriched by the strings’ and the horns’ arrangements. According to the band-leader Mathew Ajjarapu, "The song actually came to me pretty quickly; I was driving to work one day and suddenly the entire guitar lead riff popped into my head, along with the bass line and chords. I instantly knew it was kind of special".

Started in 2016 by the singer and songwriter Mathew Ajjarapu who, after he dropped out of med school found himself drawn over and over to underground soul hits becoming hooked on the grooves and impeccable production and arranging values, The Devonns see the rhythm duty entrusted to Khalyle Hagood (bass) and Khori Wilson (drums), while Cam Cunningham is on the guitar.
