Song of the Day: Regarding My Heart – Tuelo

Very rarely does a song give me full body chills everytime I hear TUELO‘s powerful single, ‘Regarding My Heart’. The track is the centerpiece and the focus track for the album Regarding My Heart, due out 27th September.

Tuelo is a South African-born, NYC/Dublin-based folk-rock artist who’s had some amazing notoriety in the past for her debut album, but one listen to the new music and it’s clear that is her most refined, self-assured sound to date. Regarding My Heart is a sweeping sonic exploration of love, loss and loneliness. The project has provided Tuelo with the space to heal, listen to herself and center her voice.

The whole album began with the title track. Describing it, Tuelo says, “The song shows that in a ubiquitous world there lives a person in solitude, with a fascination for adventure, fantasy, and big dreams of great love. That is me. That would be ‘Regarding My Heart.’ That might be you.” Beginning with one central song and building the album from there, Tuelo crafted a resonant glimpse into her heart from different perspectives. Tuelo says the album is, “by the lonely for the lonely. It’s about holding on to every ounce of peace, patience, pace, and the rhythm of the world.”

Interspersed between the tracks are chant versions and towards the end, piano versions that offer alternate takes on the original versions while paying homage to Tuelo’s roots. Across three continents, the project’s expansive sound was brought to life with help from multi-GRAMMY® award-winning producer (Album of the Year, Best Rock Album) Robbie Nelson, guitar producer Kirk Schoenherr, longtime collaborator Kevin Wenzel and features backing vocals from Tuelo’s sisters.

Song of the Day: In The Dead Of Night – Action Forever

The idea for ACTION FOREVER‘s latest single, ‘In The Dead of Night,’ was to bluntly reflect on the obvious downsides of being in a long distance relationship – not being able to hold your partner in your arms, look into their eyes, or hear their voice next to you.

Frontman Sim Bansal confides: “I was in a relationship a bit like that. Later, I realized after I went over some of the lines, like “be a shoulder for the secret pain inside” and “I feel my heart begin to break in two until the moment I hear back from you,” I started to believe that the seed for the song, in part, came from a feeling of co-dependence. When I looked back at what I’d written – in the moment, sort of quickly and instinctively – those lyrics struck me as more troubled than romantic.“

The semi-autobiographical character in the song is very much distressed. He feels the tension between him and his partner and it’s unsettling.

Sim explains: “I wanted to make something upbeat and danceable to accentuate this feeling of stress and urgency. I also tried to pick synthesizer sounds which seemed to have kind of a lonely quality. For example, the counter melodies in the second verse were inspired by those little musical carousel toys that play chimey lullabies.”
