Devine Lie returned to the studio in early 2017 to start working on their 8th studio album, Constantly Disappointed Toleration. The new album showcases Devine Lie’s evolution and ability to continuously deliver stimulating and thought-provoking adult contemporary sound. Released on all platforms on 16th August 2019, the album features singles such as the lead single, Constantly Disappointed Toleration, the politically charged African Skies, Stay, and a cover of Jefferson Airplane’s famed, Somebody to Love. The album covers everything, including topics such as frustration, pain, fear, trauma, loss and hurt which are just as necessary in life as delight, happiness, joy, love and satisfaction and tries to balance the in-between.

Swirling across
The arid Plain
Dust taints the sky
Water holes dry
Crops all gone
Just waiting for
Time to die
African skies
Majestic and cruel
Save your remorse
For tomorrow
African skies
Mountains so tall
Earth blood red
With sorrow
Struggles continue
Over the Land
Slaughter night and day
Some people claim
The Land is theirs
But history’s in the way
African skies
Majestic and cruel
Save your remorse
For tomorrow
African skies
Mountains so tall
Earth blood red
With sorrow
Now it’s time
To count the cost
Hate and intolerance abide
Corruption means
Poverty and death
People just try to survive
African skies
Majestic and cruel
Save your remorse
For tomorrow
African skies
Mountains so tall
Earth blood red
With sorrow
