(NEW YORK, NY) -- Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Jake Tavill has released Walk With Me, an introspective collection of songs taking you on a journey through heartbreak, nihilism, and hope. Alongside the album, he shared the music video for the final single, "Trust".
"Trust" is a heartbreaking track about being cheated on. Tavill shares that it touches on "betrayal, loss of trust, and shattering of the facade of what was thought to be love, but clearly wasn't." The music video takes this a step further, making a political statement, very timely following last week's midterm elections in the U.S. Tavill adds, "The music video frames this in an interesting parallel to the government betraying those it's supposed to protect."
About the album, Jake reflects, "Walk With Me follows my journey through a relationship that I tried so hard to not let go of even as it got more and more painful to exist within. It's a meditation on love, heartbreak, trust, and yearning for healing that I hope helps others to feel seen, less alone, and know they deserve better."
Walk With Me is a 7-song indie-soul glimpse into the realizations, anxiety, anger, and desperation of holding onto a relationship that wasn't meant to last. The title invites the listener to come along on a journey with Jake through love, heartbreak, nihilism, and hope. Written, recorded, and self-produced at various studios in New York City and New Jersey when Tavill was in his early 20s, young and naive, he hopes listeners take solace in the illogical and relatable rabbit hole that is young love lost.
The album features previously-released singles, "Forgotten" and "Cloudy," two heart-wrenching, existential tracks that laid the groundwork for the introspective, poignant new project.
