REVIEW: Wallows Kick Into New Era with 'Especially You'

Angel Evans

As a diehard Wallows fan, I’m ecstatic that the new era has kicked into overdrive. The dynamic alt-indie trio has released their latest single from their newest album, Tell Me That It’s Over, set to release March 25th. Especially You is a song about the initial beginning stages of entering a new relationship.  If you’ve ever been in a relationship or you’ve been in endless “talking stages” there’s a 99.99999% chance you can relate to this song. (I know I sure as hell can.) ‘Especially You’ hits the nail on the head and accurately describes how oftentimes we are the ones getting in our own way. How miscommunication and spiraling intrusive thoughts can get the best of you. 

“Thinking 'bout what you just said

Sleepless, now my eyes are red

My head can't comprehend

Living in the background, wondering what you meant

That's when my eyes got red

Thinking 'bout what you just said

Some things leave me confused

But especially you.”

What I absolutely adore the most about Wallows is how they are continuously raising the bar and expanding their sonic evolution whilst staying true to themselves. This lively single will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a “coming of age” movie. To be honest, that’s how I feel anytime I listen to Wallows. There’s a reason why their music has reached the masses and is continuing to do so. Wallows’ music is honest, full of life, and zestful. Most importantly, it leaves you feeling fulfilled and understood. 

I’m counting down the days for the album release of, Tell Me That It’s Over. Honestly, so should you. I wholeheartedly believe we’re all in for a treat. 

In the meantime, Stream ‘Especially You on all stream platforms and check out the music video.

I’m so proud to be a Wallows fan.
