The Narrative, the indie/alt/pop duo hailing from Nashville, TN, has once again captured the essence of human emotion in their latest single, “Crushed”. Comprising Suzie Zeldin on vocals and keys, and Jesse Gabriel on vocals and guitar, the duo has consistently aimed to create music that resonates profoundly with their audience, and “Crushed” is no exception.
From their humble beginnings sparked by a Craigslist ad that brought them together in Suzie’s cramped New York apartment, The Narrative has evolved into a musical force, with their debut EP in 2008, “Just Say Yes“, receiving critical acclaim and paving the way for national touring, radio exposure, and placements in film and TV.
Their musical journey has seen them explore various genres, and now, with their new 4-song release titled “New Anxieties” and in particular “Crushed”, The Narrative delves into synth-driven 80s and 90s nostalgia. The songs promise to maintain their signature focus on catchy melodies, introspective lyrics, and intricate instrumental arrangements.
The lyrics of “Crushed” reflect Suzie Zeldin’s personal exploration of thought patterns and expectations during a time of self-discovery, questioning the fairness of expectations placed on others in response to one’s own needs.
