DEVIN MØRE's "Tell Myself It’s Fine" is an Indie Anthem for Uneasy Times
In "Tell Myself It's Fine," Florida-based artist DEVIN MØRE offers an incisive emotional commentary with a tightrope act of vulnerability and defiance. Woven together are dream-like synths, frenetic indie rock guitars, and morose lyrics into a sonic quilt that feels both personal and political. It embodies an anthem for all of us who have had to smile through clenched teeth and pretend everything is okay.
Set to a rhythmic metronome, layered with lustrous textures, the song reveals its central conflict slowly: existing in a deeply divided America while feeling torn, confused, scared, and hopeful.
"It's a cry out for help, and somewhat a protest," explains DEVIN MØRE. It shows. Although the production feels polished, the rawness of the emotions is allowed to percolate just behind the surface until the tension explodes into the chorus.
References to The Strokes, Billy Idol, and Sting can be felt in DEVIN MØRE's sound. Yet, in some ways, he has created something familiar and wholly original. This is not simply another indie song emerging from the ether of the COVID experience. This is a mirror towards the chaos of modern lived experiences. "Tell Myself It's Fine" is genuinely cathartic, cerebral, and wildly representative of our zeitgeist.
