Independent artist Dutch 3Times is preparing to unveil the next chapter of his ambitious musical journey with the release of Distant Lover 5: Under the Covers, arriving on June 9, 2026. As the fifth installment in his ongoing Distant Lover Saga, the project continues the deeply personal story that has become a defining part of his artistic identity, exploring the complicated emotions that exist between love, desire, vulnerability, and heartbreak.
Over the last several years, Dutch 3Times has carefully built the Distant Lover Saga into a six-part musical narrative. Beginning with Distant Lover in 2021, the series expanded with Distant Lover 2: This Is Lust (2025), Distant Lover 3: This Is Heartbreak (2025), and Distant Lover 4: Love Lust & Heartbreak (2026). Each release serves as a chapter in a larger story, allowing listeners to follow the emotional highs and lows of romantic relationships through his unique blend of R&B and hip-hop.
Now, with Distant Lover 5, Dutch 3Times shifts the focus toward a more intimate and reflective stage of the journey. The project explores the quiet moments that often define relationships—the conversations left unsaid, the emotional walls slowly coming down, and the lingering feelings that remain long after the excitement fades. Rather than relying on dramatic twists, Under the Covers embraces a slow-burning approach, highlighting the depth and complexity of genuine human connection.
Based between the Carolinas and Detroit, Dutch 3Times has developed a reputation for creating music that feels cinematic yet relatable. His songwriting often draws from real-life experiences, allowing listeners to connect with themes of romance, longing, conflict, and personal growth. This honest storytelling has become the foundation of the Distant Lover series and continues to resonate with audiences looking for music that speaks to real emotions.
The upcoming release follows the success of Distant Lover 4: Love Lust & Heartbreak, which featured standout tracks such as “You Was Mine” and “No Stress.” Those songs showcased Dutch 3Times’ ability to blend heartfelt lyrics with smooth melodies, further expanding the emotional landscape of the saga. With Under the Covers, he promises to take listeners even deeper into the story.
“The Distant Lover Saga has always been about capturing every layer of love and relationships,” Dutch 3Times shares. “Distant Lover 5: Under the Covers is about understanding, vulnerability, and those moments when emotions become impossible to hide. It’s one of the most personal chapters I’ve created so far.”
As anticipation builds for the June 9 release, fans can already pre-save Distant Lover 5: Under the Covers and prepare for the next chapter in a story that continues to evolve with every project. With only one installment remaining after this release, the saga is moving closer to its conclusion, making Under the Covers a pivotal moment in the larger narrative.
