New York, NY – 15th June 2023 – Jack River (aka Holly Rankin) shares the official music video today with the release of Endless Summer’s focus track “Lie To You” – watch HERE. On the new single, River explores the eventual, and often necessary, tensions that arise as we delve deeper into intimacy and find ourselves clutching to the imperfect line drawn between falsities and truth. Overarching sonic peaks and troughs are skillfully interwoven with River’s entrancing vocal delivery, ‘If I said I was leaving, would you fight for me, or start grieving.’
“’Lie to You’ is one of the most personal songs I have written in a long time. It’s about the point in a relationship where you can start lying about how you feel, or you can tell the truth. In ‘Lie To You,’ I am wrangling with the romantic vision of someone, and reality, and trying to find a reason to hold on. I wrote it in a hotel room whilst I was on tour, all the sentimental feelings of being away from home, coupled with a heart wrenching experience I can’t really talk about publicly, made for a pretty overwhelming emotional experience.”
