Dude Safari, a grunge pop band from Surrey, is ready to rock the music world with their latest release “Love Me Like You Want Me” on 8th November. The single will be released under their own Pretty Thing Records. This single is proof of the band’s talent in pairing catchy hooks with serious – sometimes dark – overtones. The track’s title describes what the listener should expect from the single’s opening: engaging chords, catchy melodies, and a bright and upbeat atmosphere. However, beneath such sounds, the realities of homicide, self-belief, self-esteem, and self-worth are battled. The lyrics depict the struggle of fully standing behind one’s work. Jamie Tipson noted, however, that this song touches upon a sincere and disjointed feeling – the urge to seek endorsement from other people.
The production is vibrant and polished, with a sense of movement with every instrument. Jamie Tipson belts out high, soulful notes, effectively relaying the message engine behind the song. The chorus is catchy and regimented, making it easy for an average listener to become involved with the music. Lyrically, the song is remarkable with the lines that cut through the deep satisfaction of the struggle of looking for validation and appealing for love, just for the self and what is made. Interestingly, the melody is refreshing, yet at the same time, the message remains vital. Dude Safari can easily pull off such expressive lyrics because they are simple, thanks to their sweet melody. Like their previous releases, this track showcases their unique blend of grunge and pop influences, making them a standout in the modern music scene.
To conclude, “Love Me Like You Want Me” is uniquely produced and ultimately succeeds in its major purpose, putting Dude Safari’s genius on display. The impressive vocals perfectly match the composed backdrop, and modulation gives the feel of this single a supreme quality. They are searching for an upbeat tune but embedded within problematics, and “Love Me Like You Want Me” doesn’t fail at all. Dude Safari keeps delivering genuine texture and deep narratives; the anticipation for their subsequent work is justified.
