“True Love Don’t Die” touts a soulful, twangy rock sound in the vein of Kurt Vile. The consuming track released today from Sean Alan, a Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter with an album out later this year. He is releasing one album track at a time, with “True Love Don’t Die” marking the first entry. “It’s a love song straight from the guts—inspired poetry that aches and sparkles with vintage warmth and cinematic style,” Alan says of the track. “You are the scarlet sky,” Alan sings as the one-minute mark approaches, unveiling a beautifully twangy assortment of guitars and backing melodic vocals. The “freight train,” verse that follows plays with convincing passion. “True Love Don’t Die” is a consuming effort from start to finish.
