London-born artist, poet, and musician Truman has always been a master at navigating dualities: frenetic yet introspective, darkly humorous yet disarmingly honest. With his latest single, “Tell Him” featuring Isabel, Truman crafts a tender yet powerful portrait of vulnerability, honesty, and the quiet tension between what’s felt and what’s said. Built on smooth, understated production, gentle percussion, and ambient textures, the track creates a dreamy backdrop where the duo’s voices intertwine with seamless chemistry.
The music video, directed by Oscar®-qualifying filmmaker Saul Abraham, adds another layer of intimacy, blending adolescent boys performing the lyrics directly to camera with candid moments of Truman and his Nan. This evocative visual narrative captures generational connection and the subtleties of emotional expression, highlighting Truman’s commitment to exploring the human experience in all its complexity.
Ahead of the release of his upcoming album Kid Raise Kid, produced by Jakwob, Truman reflects on the inspirations behind “Tell Him”, the process of collaboration, and the personal and societal themes that continue to shape his work.
