Tarric Confronts the Quiet Collapse on “Lying With You”

It’s easy to talk about love when everything is going right. Tarric ’s new single “Lying With You” is about what happens when it all quietly falls apart—and you stay anyway.

Built on glimmering synth textures and hollowed-out percussion, the track is emotionally raw but musically composed, like a breakup conversation in a perfectly curated gallery space. Tarric doesn’t scream through the pain—he whispers it with precision. “You make me say things I would not do / Cause I’ve been lying with you,” he sings, peeling back the layers of emotional self-distortion that creep into relationships like mold under wallpaper.

This isn’t a revenge song or a dramatic farewell. It’s a self-inventory. A reckoning.

That kind of maturity isn’t new to Tarric, but it’s more distilled than ever. While his debut album Lovesick danced through infatuation and its collapse, Method seems like the inevitable chapter two: disillusionment, clarity, survival. “Lying With You” sets that tone like a cracked mirror—beautiful, fractured, and reflective.

Raised on a diet of The Smiths and Depeche Mode in the American Midwest, Tarric’s taste for melodic melancholy has always been clear. But it’s his ability to adapt those influences into something relevant—and resonant—that sets him apart from his contemporaries. After moving to Los Angeles with barely enough to survive, he built his world from scratch: working behind the scenes at NBC and Fox by day, sculpting his sonic identity by night.

The visual strength of his work, evidenced in videos that landed on MTV, isn't just a bonus. It's a core part of the equation. Tarric makes music that feels like film—romantic, atmospheric, precise.

“Lying With You” carries all that cinematic weight, but without ever feeling overproduced. It feels lonely in the right ways. Uncomfortable in the real ways. And in a world of over-engineered indie pop, Tarric has carved out a lane where vulnerability is the flex.

Tarric Delves Into Emotions with New Single “You Were Gone”

Tarric navigates the complexities of emotional distance in his latest single, “You Were Gone“, from his upcoming album, Method. He draws inspiration from the ’80s new wave influences and modern sensibility. Tarric avoids dramatisation and invites listeners to study the feeling of loss. The track dives into the aftermath of relationships explored in his debut album, Lovesick.

Tarric‘s music resonates with the textures of ’80s new wave, reminiscent of bands like The Smiths and Depeche Mode, yet maintains a contemporary edge. He sharpens the sound for clarity, stripping away excessive sentimentality to ensure every element in the mix serves a purpose. In “Untied”, the production creates an atmospheric space, purposely panning the instruments and voice toward the centre to capture a feeling of insularity. As the chorus unfolds, the music broadens, panning to create a sense of space and freedom, enhanced by high-end frequencies like cymbals and synths.

Lyrically, “You Were Gone” centres on the realisation that a loved one has been emotionally absent longer than one is willing to admit. The refrain is less an accusation and more a surrender, conveying everything that matters without raising his voice. Tarric shares that Method documents his methods of dealing with emotional fallout, capturing a snapshot of that time in his life.

Tarric acknowledges the challenges of breaking through in today’s saturated music industry, where countless songs are released daily. He questions how artists can effectively share their music and connect with audiences in an environment dominated by algorithms and rapidly changing trends. Tarric emphasises the importance of lyrical depth and vulnerability in his songwriting, aiming to create music that resonates deeply with himself and his listeners.

Integral to the new tour is its eco-friendly measures, which have been set out on a new ‘sustainability’ section of Coldplay’s official website.

The measures include cutting direct emissions by 50 per cent compared to the band’s last tour in 2016 and 2017, using 100 per cent renewable energy and having solar installations at every venue.

Discussing the idea behind the tour, Coldplay said in a statement: “We’re very conscious that the planet is facing a climate crisis. So we’ve spent the last two years consulting with environmental experts to make this tour as sustainable as possible, and, just as importantly, to harness the tour’s potential to push things forward.”

They added: “We won’t get everything right, but we’re committed to doing everything we can and sharing what we learn. It’s a work in progress and we’re really grateful for the help we’ve had so far. If you’d like to come to a show and sing with us, we’re so excited to see you.”
