The Pretty Reckless have shared another piece of their upcoming album ‘DEAR GOD’, and it finds Taylor Momsen in deeply emotional form.
It’s called ‘Love Me’ and is a slow-burning piece of gruff rock and roll, bolstered by a vulnerable, volatile vocal display. An unfurling of feelings that only show themselves when you are staring the very bottom in the face, it takes a lot to put them on paper, and even more to choose to relive them every time you hear them in song from now until forever.
But it’s clear just how purposeful this new record has been for Taylor in exorcising a variety of things she didn’t want to face head-on, and with that in mind, her calls for adoration become even more heartwrenching and honest.
A really heavy listen, and not in the way you expect.
She had this to say about where the song came from, stating, “‘Love Me’ came from a place I didn’t want to admit I was in. There’s this moment in your life where you’re so hollowed out that you start bargaining with God, not even for happiness, just for proof that someone sees you. That’s what this song is. It’s not pretty. It’s not wrapped up. It’s just a raw, ugly need and I think that’s exactly why people connect with it.”
‘DEAR GOD’ is set for release on June 26 via Fearless Records. It will also feature the raw and raucous ‘When I Wake Up’, which sounds like this:
