Taste Test: Gavin Haley wades rising waters of love with ‘Show Me’

Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstone

Young love exists somewhere between child-like wander and looming adulthood. It can all come crumbling down around you, if you let it, but perhaps, you fight for it a little bit and endure for the long game. Silky pop dreamweaver Gavin Haley mines the emotional turmoil of a budding romance with “Show Me,” which has been paired with an opulent, twinkling visual (directed by Carla Dauden). Clocking it at just over three minutes, the song treks through the vast psychological expanses of what it means to be in love, yet finding yourself struggling to be heard. Haley becomes tangled in every fevered emotion, valiantly combating the ugly rashes of it all as much the beauty. Video co-star Cherish Waters, of America’s Next Top Model, proves to be a worthy counterbalance to the storyline, which nearly collapses onto both of them, and an essential focal point onscreen. Will they emerge unscathed or die trying in the process?
