Take a rollercoaster ride of emotions with alt-indie newcomer, Gatlin.
Nashville-based artist, Gatlin, is commanding attention as she enters the music industry with full force. She exposes the intense feelings that come with any toxic relationship in her latest release, “I Think About You All The Time.”
Gatlin’s new love song is for the ages! The 4-minute song starts softly, with a solo guitar, and builds to its crescendo. “It’s a song about romanticizing a person who is unable to give love, wanting love from them, but knowing they are incapable,” she admits. Gatlin's honesty draws you in with not only her entrancing vocals but also her lyrics.
Bursting at the seams with love, heartache, and passion, “I Think About You All The Time” intoxicates the mind and heart. This song highlights the unhealthiness within relationships where your partner manipulates or play games. With lyrics, “You really got me bad/ With a girl I didn’t know you had,” Gatlin sings through her guilt and heartbreak.
“I Think About You All The Time” is Gatlin’s second single of 2020, following “Talking to Myself.” Gatlin continues, “The production of the song matches my emotions — really vulnerable in the beginning, but the track just grows and ends with chaos and muddiness in a powerful indie-rock way.” Sticking to simplicity within her drum beats and guitar patterns, Gatlin pairs her raw emotion to her latest track.
As the song weaves through its verses, “And I know you know I know you’re no good/ But I know you know I’d love you if I could,” illustrates that cycle of going back to someone who’s not right for you.
As the bridge and end of the song pulses, you catapult through the ins-and-outs of this track and relationships. The song concludes with repeating lyric: “I think about you all the time,” reminding us that you can run from your thoughts.
This song took me by storm and showed delicacy within intensity. Let this song work its way to your playlist and enjoy the latest artistry from Gatlin. Follow Gatlin (@gatlin) on Instagram for more!
