about

Introducing ‘Tell Me’, the heartfelt new single that captures the timeless charm of Country Music, while drawing inspiration from Bluegrass artists such as Alison Krauss and Patty Loveless. Australian Singer-Songwriter Charlotte Mclean wrote, produced and sang on this track and with each note she paints a vivid picture of love, sacrifice, and the intricacies of marriage.

At the core of ‘Tell Me’ lies the exceptional guitar work of Australian Bluegrass virtuoso Jamie Clark. Adding a layer of depth and authenticity, fiddle melodies by Nashville player Rachel Crick elevates the song to new heights, infusing it with Bluegrass spirit. Sierra Webb and Emily Scholler (backing vocals), Luke McIntosh (bass) and Nick Keogh-Peel (drums) create a rich musical landscape that perfectly complements the poignant lyrics. Together, these accomplished musicians form a seamless ensemble, delivering a sound that is as captivating as it is emotionally resonant.

‘Tell Me’ invites listeners to reflect on the complexities of romance and the sacrifices we make for the ones we hold dear. With its delicate melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and impeccable instrumentation, this single is destined to touch the hearts of country music enthusiasts far and wide. Prepare to be swept away by the tender storytelling and undeniable musical prowess of ‘Tell Me’.

Release date: August 1st, 2023

lyrics

It’s a work in progress, a promise left outside
It’s a way to get around times we’ve lost and baggage we’ve found.
It’s part of my process when I throw away
My old grudge to bare and pray you wont bring it back another day
Tell me, that you wouldn’t dare

We are working through this unfortunate display
Twisting as we’re pushing through what we think is what will do
When we think it’s working, it doesn’t do a thing
To better say each other’s names and hear them another way
So tell me, that you wouldn’t dare

It’s my time to realise, it’s my job to see
A strong man is hard to find
But a good one is all mine
You’re using up the magic running through our veins
But just leave it there
And don’t leave me, it isn’t fair

So tell me, that you wouldn’t dare
Tell me that you wouldn’t dare
Tell me that you wouldn’t dare
