Tamzene: Called You Out

Tamzene’s mournful, tender piano ballad “Called You Out” will resonate with many listeners, as it’s about the ending a friendship after realizing you have opposing values. The Scottish singer-songwriter says the lyrics were sparked after a falling out with a friend, “It was really hard but I realized I couldn’t hold space for someone who was unwilling to listen and learn… It’s about accepting the moment you no longer want to be in someone’s life, because they simply don’t see you.” With just a piano and sorrowful vocals, the pared-back song still feels powerful.
