How does one appeal to both mainstream and alternative crowds? One releases a record that hits deep while retaining its epicness. GlowDriver does exactly that with ‘Tell Me’. The single follows up on previous debut effort ‘Good Love’, tracing a common songwriting pattern: a reflection on human relationships and love languages.
Compared to its predecessor, ‘Tell Me’ embarks on a slightly darker sonic direction. We are still in dance and EDM territory, albeit with less mainstream sheen and a heightened alternative allure. The melodies are very pop-leaning, and overall, this is a piece that deserves to be listened to, rather than danced to. The harmonies are quite haunting at times, a feature that places ‘Tell Me’ firmly in the dark-alternative category. Hypnotic female vocals dominate the record, with the lyrical identity focusing heavily on what GlowDriver defines as ‘Words of Affirmation’.
Delving deeper into the creative ethos that propels the song, GlowDriver explains: “Those craving verbal affection can be misunderstood as seeking attention, but I’ve come to understand that this is often how they feel valued in a relationship. ‘Tell Me’ gives a voice to that vulnerability, turning a deep need for connection into an anthem for the dancefloor.” We suspect this will be quite a relatable song; after, we all share a certain desire for approval and reassurance.
