Beach Boys had a way of tapping into youthful bliss that only comes from long, hot summer nights and weekend excursions to the beach. A tender embrace beneath a blanket of stars, sands sweeping out from under you in all directions, and the waves gently rocking on the shoreline – it’s heaven. Nashville’s indie-rocker Ryan Melone borrows a similar aesthetic for his new song called “Tell Me,” which ebbs and flows with a cheery fizz. Percussion throbs beneath him, and Melone’s voice is sweet and endearing. “Babe, you’re looking great / Shining bright and beautiful,” he sings, eyes sparkling. Meleone feels a budding romance growing inside of him, and so, “Tell Me” blossoms into that unbridled ” warm and gooey feeling coupled with wanting to be around your person all of the time,” he says.
“Tell Me” is another sample to his new forthcoming collection, Bedroom Bangers.
