Just tell me I'm good one time

Recently, we introduced you to emerging Norwegian talent Ruben Dawnson with his anti-anxiety anthem ‘FYALMA’. Now, Dawnson would like you to get to know him a little better with another personal indie-pop gem called ‘SAYIMGOOD’.

Dawnson’s signature raw honesty and visceral emotion can be found within those questioning lyrics, “why are you so unenthusiastic, huh? / Why you always gotta be so drastic?”, mimicking the internal voices of the narrator. The whole track bounces and reverberates with fuzzy guitars and paradoxically upbeat percussion, while the genuine sentiments of Dawnson’s feeling is further highlighted by the lo-fi production.

Speaking about the track, Dawnson shares:

“this song, like the whole ep, is very introspective. it revolves around the feeling of not being in a healthy state. it switches back and forth between singing to myself in third-person, and from myself in first-person - which symbolizes a certain duality and disorientation. self-love and self-criticism.”

As Dawnson hints, ‘SAYIMGOOD’ is the second taste of his debut EP, Echo Emotions, which is scheduled to drop on May 8th.
