When the vibe changes, more often than not, it's the ones we love the most who are on the receiving end of regrettable words and actions. Built on sweet vulnerability and enhanced by delicate R&B notes, “Told You” is Jon Vinyl's transparent ask for amends in the midst of a battle.
A sweeping power ballad, Vinyl asks his lover to shift the perspective from a “me vs. you” issue to an “us vs. the problem” situation. The video for “Told You”, directed by Alimzhan Sabir, sees Vinyl and his significant other rekindling joy and communication in a relationship, reveling in the little things that made them love each other in the first place. Crafted with the kind of thoughtfulness that can only come from a repentant heart, “Told You” demonstrates Vinyl’s superb ability to express both vulnerability and versatility in his songwriting.
The single is Vinyl’s first release for 2021 and serves as the lead single off his upcoming EP, due for later this year.
