Zambian roots-reggae and hip-hop fusion artist dESH.DUBS joins forces with soulful songstress Ave Lynn on a beautifully crafted single titled Détente. The song represents a rare peace treaty between genres, blending the ruggedness of reggae with the elegance of neo-soul, seasoned with subtle Afrobeats influences.
Born out of pure serendipity, Détente traces its origins to a live showcase where Ave Lynn was invited on stage to improvise during dESH.DUBS’ performance. That spontaneous moment revealed an undeniable musical chemistry, laying the foundation for a collaboration that feels both timeless and refreshingly contemporary. The track carries warmth, intimacy, and a natural flow that makes it sound like it was always meant to exist.
At its core, “Détente” is about finding peace after conflict in love, in life, and within oneself. dESH.DUBS uses the song as a metaphor for relationships that survive emotional storms and emerge stronger.
