TCM Pain has released a new single, called “In Too Deep”. Born Dantae’ Paul Tillman, the 22-year-old artist grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana, drawing from the city’s deep-rooted hip-hop culture while incorporating influences from artists such as Post Malone and Rod Wave. The result is a melodic style that feels both expansive and restrained- vibrant in its textures, yet melancholic at its core. Rather than leaning into spectacle, TCM Pain favors quiet intensity, allowing emotional nuance and control to take center stage.
“In Too Deep” unfolds through subtle tension rather than direct confession. Built on somber keys, soulful background vocals, and a steady, infectious rhythm, the track provides a moody foundation for TCM Pain’s heartfelt delivery. The song examines the emotional distance born from self-doubt and feelings of abandonment, using sparse, atmospheric melodies to mirror inner conflict.
Existing at the intersection of melody and introspection, “In Too Deep” draws listeners in with its dark, ruminative atmosphere and sincere delivery.
