Cleo Handler – rules
Cleo Handler made an album and, while I’m not reviewing the *album,* I did give it a listen (though I’m focusing on the track “rules”). It’s important to point out though that she made a 13 track concept album around dating and about being yourself (but left out dating yourself).
The track itself is is a lowkey affair in a minor key that manages to be a major earworm. Clean guitar and vibrant drums mesh well with Handler’s vocals, delivering a no-nonsense take on compromise in a relationship:
“This song is about compromise and rigidity, and how, when you try to find common ground with someone quite stuck in their ways, a small offer of wiggle room can mean a lot… even if it’s not ultimately enough.”
You can hear “rules” below from Soundcloud or over on Spotify. The rest of the album, compare & contrast is out as of March 4th and ready for your listening pleasure.
