An impactful folk output from Manchester-based artist Ben Heyworth, “Tell Me, What Is Love?” compels in its heartfelt lyricism and dreamily subdued production. Also known by his alias This Morning Call, and previously dabbling in a more electronic sound, Heyworth crafts a convincing folk appeal with “Tell Me, What Is Love?” — a thoughtful, melodic success that contemplates the distances of love. The track marks the second release from Heyworth this year, following the “Creatures” single, and continues his return to music after a decade-long hiatus.
A title-touting question stirs initially, as Heyworth lushly traces the path of a blooming relationship, and its level of commitment — asking “would you follow me down south, with my head still full of doubts?” as serene acoustics glide alongside. Glimmering organs bolster the mix as Heyworth’s vocals escalate in emotion, culminating in soaring passion as the “is it all in your head?” introspections continue. Harmonious vocal layers then conclude the track with powerful immersion, beckoning “please tell me” as the memorable production comes to a sating close.
