Australian-Pop duo President Street reveals their brand new heartfelt single “Tell Me Brother“
After the release of their medicinal single ‘Heal’ back in May, Australian-Pop duo President Street are back with their latest infectious single, ‘Tell Me Brother’.
The new single ‘Tell Me Brother’ has brought the funk to President Street. Challenging outdated forms of masculinity, President Street create their version of an anti-war song, at a time the world needs to hear it the most. With an uptempo feel to it, contagious rhythms fill this single with bouncing danceability, luscious vocal melodies and bustling basslines, yet the strong message that runs through this single remains.
The track is brought to life by its luscious instrumentation. This owes its thanks to members of Irish folk singer/songwriter, Damien Dempsey’s band featuring on the new single. Graham Kearns (Guitar), Chris Pemberton (Keyboard), John Reynolds (Drums) and Clare Kenny (Bass) have all been a part of Dempsey’s work for years and now they join forces with President Street to help convey their message to the world.
Explaining the ideas behind the track, President Street stated that they wanted “to challenge the idea of what it means to ‘be a man’ and the concept of masculinity. We want to direct our message that – rather than being about violence and toxicity, TRUE masculinity is about being strong enough to lead through compassion and understanding and using strength to lift people up rather than hold them down.”
Riding off the highs of last year’s ground-breaking EP ‘Heartbreak Player’, which featured the infectious hit title single and remix’s from Adam Turner and Redondo. President Street are on a continual climb and not ready to stop till they reach the top, as they also smashed through to the No.5 spot in the Commercial Pop Dance Chart with ‘Something to Believe’ and a full host of UK and European tour dates at the end of last year, President Street have been dubbed as the ones to watch by many musical curators. The band also embarked on another selection of shows, playing at Brighton’s The Great Escape Festival and supporting the incredible Roachford on tour in May.
