New Music and Video Alert: elle belle's "Everyone Knows (But They Won't Tell You)"

 

elle belle just released a new music video for his song "Everyone Knows (But They Won't Tell You.)" Lyrics such as "I'm too nice for punk rock, I'm too angry for rock & roll." reference how hard it is to please everyone listening to your music. 

He writes in his press release: "Everyone Knows..." was written about the impossible feat of trying to be everything to everyone and not excelling at any of it. There is so much time spent switching lanes that we end up in the middle of the road and Elle Belle is asking how many of us feel this way? Elle Belle's lyrics are straightforward statements such as. "I’m too strange to follow, But not desperate enough to fold I’m too scared to let go, But so miserable in control....and Everyone Knows but they won't tell you." This is a refreshingly honest song in a world where we are consuming life's highlight reels on social media ...instead of the truth. But don't we all feel like this?  

Though the song references punk rock and rock & roll, I'd argue it is a great blend of pop sounds.
