U.K. singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bruno Major releases his new single “Tell Her” via Harbour Artists & Music / AWAL Recordings. “Tell Her” is the latest offering from his forthcoming album Columbo, out July 21st. Pre-save Columbo HERE.
“Tell Her” is a slice of simmering R&B in which Bruno reflects on a relationship gone awry. The raw and retrospective track sees Bruno attempt to turn back time as he ruminates on all the sentiments he wished he could have expressed before it was too late. The soft-rock guitar licks and muted snare drums are a flawless backdrop for Bruno’s timeless vocals.
The cinematic music video (complete with a Wes Anderson-esque intro and its very own title card) sees Bruno experience the agony of leaving things unsaid. The video follows him from day to night, confined not only in his hotel room, but inside his own mind as well.
Of the track, Bruno reveals, “'Tell Her' is a letter of sorts, to a friend who saw someone I once loved very much at a party I wasn’t at, asking them to tell her all the things I should have told her myself but didn’t. Written with Danny Cope and Dan McDougall.”
“Tell Her” follows the release of recent singles, album title track “Columbo” and his first new track in three years “We Were Never Really Friends.” Clash praises “Columbo” calling it “a soothing Spring-like hymn reminiscent of Paul Simon…a sun-drenched piece of melodic songwriting, while the video has a special guest star – Bruno’s 1978 Mercedes 380SL.”
“We Were Never Really Friends” was released in May to critical acclaim. Billboard chronicles the track as “...a classic spoil-the-friendship jam that masquerades as a piano ballad before blooming into a lighters-up rock sing-along, complete with a stringy guitar solo. Major’s patience stands out here: the British singer-songwriter never presses too hard in any direction on the song, letting the full instrumentation and the slight quiver in his voice carry home his first new music since 2020.”
On July 21st, Bruno will unveil his newest album Columbo, the highly-anticipated follow up to 2020’s To Let a Good Thing Die. The 12-track body of work weaves the autobiographical with the observational and stretches Bruno’s palette into new forms, yielding the most accomplished and “honest” expression of his music to date.
Marking a triumphant return to the stage after his 2020 tour was canceled due to COVID, Bruno will kick off an expansive headlining tour in Tokyo on August 8th, making his way through major cities in Southeast Asia before heading to Denver, CO to start the North American leg of the tour on September 4th. Following the 20 date NA run, he'll begin the European leg of his ambitious journey, in Cologne, Germany on November 8th. The tour will conclude on November 23rd in his hometown of London. See below for the full tour routing.
