Tamzene isn’t playing down her feelings on ‘hell yeah honey!’. The love song puts affection into words without trying to appear detached.
The single arrives on 13th November. Co-written with Mikey Gormley and Corey Sanders, it is the fourth single from her forthcoming album.
Tamzene grew up in a coastal town in the Scottish Highlands, with Scottish folk among the sounds she played as a young musician. Her forthcoming collection revisits those early musical connections, alongside the pop and soul influences in her writing.
Her listening at home included Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone, followed later by Hozier, HAIM and Lianne La Havas. She comes from a family of Irish and Jamaican heritage.
Earlier single ‘harbour’ explored the pull between moving forward and seeking the comfort of home. On ‘hell yeah honey!’, her subject is wholehearted romantic affection.
‘hell yeah honey!’ review
The piano and guitar are beautiful together. I love how delicate Tamzene sounds here: her singing makes the song’s open affection feel tender and personal.
I find the lyrics meaningful, and I want time with the words as much as the melody. This single has left me keen to hear the album.
