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.
