The Duchess Releases “drunk on u” (Ft. DYSON)

Los Angeles-based DJ and producer The Duchess teams up with multiplatinum songwriter and vocalist DYSON for the highly anticipated release of “drunk on u,” a hypnotic drum & bass single out March 20 on Monstercat. The hypnotic drum & bass track, originally conceived in 2019, carries a powerful story of resilience, fate, and artistic passion that unfolded over several years and across continents.

The origins of “Drunk on U” date back to a fateful introduction between The Duchess (Kendra Videckis) and DYSON (Lauren Dyson) through a mutual friend. What began as a remote collaboration between the pair evolved into a deeply personal anthem shaped by fate and perseverance. Initially recorded under the name “Feelings”, the track was nearly lost when Kendra’s home was destroyed in the Palisades fires – yet, miraculously, the demo survived. As The Duchess rebuilt her life and honed her craft, she revisited the track, refining its haunting melodies and hypnotic flow.

“Losing everything in the Palisades fires stripped my world down to nothing but ashes and memories. But somehow, in that emptiness, I found the purest form of freedom—the kind that only comes when you have nothing left to hold onto but your voice. ‘Drunk on You’ is the song I’ve poured my whole soul into for the last five years. It’s about surrender, passion, and the way love—real love—feels like letting go and giving in completely. At just 2:12, this song is a reminder of how quickly everything you love can be taken from you without reason. It’s proof that even after losing everything, something beautiful can still rise from the smoke. Now, it’s finally here, exactly as it was meant to be. I hope it brings others even a fraction of the peace it gave me.” – Duchess

As The Duchess continues to carve her path in the electronic music space, “drunk on u” marks just the beginning of what promises to be a milestone year for the rising artist. With an unshakable vision, she is proving that resilience and artistry go hand in hand. As she steps into her next chapter, The Duchess shows no signs of slowing down – only rising higher.
