How Can I Tell You (To Love Me More) by Brooke Combe
Last week a short video appeared on my Instagram feed of the singer Brook Combe in a rehearsal room singing her new single How Can I Tell You (To Love Me More) with the teaser - Any1 else wish the charts still sounded like this?
A glorious bust of the chorus drew me so deeply that I immediately checked if she was playing live and bought 2 tickets for her Saint Luke's show in December - before hearing the full song!
Brooke Combe burst on to the Scottish music scene in 2023 with the release of her mixtape Black is the New Gold , following that with debut album Dancing at the Edge of the World earlier this year, produced by James Skelly of The Coral.
Truth be told, I've seen Brooke's name around but never took the time to check her out. That is part of the problem with so much music being instantly accessible in today's day and age.
How Can I Tell You (To Love Me More) is beautifully pure euphoric soul music. A jaunty piano over strings introduces the song, Coombe doesn't hang about - it's a 2 line verse and then a 2 line bridge into the chorus.
If you only knew
What your silence put me through
The bridge turns things up a notch;
How it feels when you let me down
Said you care but you don't know how
Coombe's voice is stunning, rising effortlessly for the chorus. After the second verse, bridge and run through the chorus I love when she sings oh baby to start the chorus all over again. Warm tingles run down my spine.
Baby, how can I tell you, how to love me more, if you don't try?
Baby, how can I tell you, how to love me more, if you don't try?
How can I tell you?
Why should I beg you?
I'm enjoying digging through Coombes back catalogue and it was fantastic to see so many other people I follow on Social Media also enjoying this fantastic single. It's no surprise to see that Brooke's show at Saint Luke's is now sold out.
