Now, Dove Cameron is launching her music career, with her new “Waste” music video and song ‘Bloodshot’

Some believe that the reason Dove Cameron deleted all her Instagram pictures is to pull focus to her latest endeavor — her music career. Since Descendants 3 premiered on Disney Channel, Dove Cameron posted covers periodically on her YouTube channel. The first cover she posted was a cover of Kacey Musgrave’s song “Slow Burn,” currently holding over 400,000 plays on YouTube. Now, the artist is branching out, launching two songs entitled “Bloodshot” and “Waste.”

“‘Waste’ has always felt extremely special to me,” she said during an interview with Rolling Stone. “It was always the one that grabbed me the most. It’s probably the weirdest one; the production is definitely strange. I love that it’s a love song without being a really melty, drippy.”

“’Bloodshot,’ on the other hand, is less specific,” Cameron said during an interview with Billboard. “I am very known by my label to say ‘I hate a breakup song,’ which I don’t anticipate changing anytime soon. To me, they’re boring and they make me itchy. What I love about “Bloodshot” is that it’s not necessarily about a breakup, but it is definitely about a loss of some kind. For me, it’s about loss, which I am always trying to put to lyrics.”

Dove Cameron’s music, include “Waste” is available for viewing on YouTube. Other songs that feature Dove Cameron, including the Descendants soundtrack, are available on Spotify, Apple Music, and most major streaming platforms.
