Finally previewing a long awaited single titled “Let It Fall (My December)” off his forthcoming second record, we can confirm the wait for Tom Craven’s latest was worth it. Keep reading as we share our thoughts on the track, as well as a background on the artist.

Teasing out this all new song called “Let It Fall (My December)” off of his newest record Make Yourself Known, the artist known as Tom Craven has certainly put his best foot forward in crafting together something upbeat, vibrant, and ultimately optimistic. It’s a “bittersweet indie-pop gem” says Tom and we can accurately back that up based on the way it makes you feel and the absolute masterclass in songwriting he’s provided. It’s a story playing out in your head backed up by a fun instrumentation and we cannot wait for everyone out there to hit the play button themselves.

On the background of it all, the artist has said this song “chronicles a conscious departure from those negative souls who we surround ourselves with; taking stock of and accepting the melodrama of failing friendships and relationships and simply stating ‘no more’”. There’s a solid chance most people out there can relate or have experienced these one sided relationships whether you’re the one putting in more effort or not. However, Tom lets us in as the listener in quite a vulnerable place to be in thematically. He paints a clear picture from start to finish, but the crux and soul of the song perfectly relies on his vocal inflections to display the importance. For us, this single felt completely well rounded in its journey to not only relate with you, but also in its laidback nature to keep you focused, enthused, and rocking right along.

Instrumentally, there’s plenty of bright spots that show themselves and add a ton of allure into the mix. However, it’s become as clear as day that truly Tom has put this song on his back given his vocals that express everything in the best way possible. The unique tone and cadence he provides are more than enough to keep you hooked on every word whereas those indie pop glimmers create a warm and welcome atmosphere. With his record Make Yourself Known now in the stages of being rolled out, consider our hype levels as high as ever for whatever else is expected to come!
