Talk Releases Endearing New Single “Afraid Of The Dark”
Support For Young The Giant Tour Kicks Off May 2023
Today, platinum-selling recording artist and viral TikTok sensation TALK released his new single ‘Afraid Of The Dark’ via Capitol Records and Range Music Partners.
The single, driven by the sonically compelling combination of TALK’s powerful and dreamy vocals, endearing lyrics, bass-heavy drums, and message of love and appreciation came to TALK while recording his debut album.
“I wrote Afraid of the Dark about my amazing grandmother. She was rushed to the hospital just as I was leaving to start writing my debut album.” TALK says, “In my first session all I could think about was never seeing her again and the song flew out of me. I wanted to be sure that she knew how much I loved her before it was too late. This song is dedicated to her and all the wonderful grandparents that have impacted our lives forever.”
