Hazlett returns with Tell Me Something, the lead single from his forthcoming album last night you said you missed me, due 12th September via Nettwerk.
This latest offering showcases an artist unafraid to explore the messier territories of human emotion.
The track arrives as Hazlett prepares for his biggest British show to date, supporting Noah Kahan at BST Hyde Park on 4th July.
It’s fitting timing for a song that feels tailor-made for those contemplative summer evenings when memories hit hardest.
Tell Me Something builds around Hazlett’s distinctive approach to heartbreak. There is no dramatic wallowing or bitter recrimination here.
Instead, he crafts something more nuanced: a meditation on the strange liminal space between holding on and moving forward.
His vocals carry a weathered honesty as he navigates the daily reminders of absent intimacy, those small dependencies that vanish when relationships end.
The production mirrors this emotional complexity. Delicate instrumentation weaves around his voice without overwhelming it, creating space for the song’s central tension to breathe.
Hazlett’s own description of the song reveals his maturity as a songwriter: “holding on isn’t doing anyone any favours,” he explains, acknowledging that acceptance doesn’t require anger or resentment.
This perspective elevates Tell Me Something beyond typical breakup territory into something more universal. A recognition that growth often requires uncomfortable goodbyes, if you like.
Hazlett continues to evolve his sound whilst maintaining the intimate storytelling that initially drew listeners.
His upcoming album promises further exploration of this artistic development.
Tell Me Something is available now. Pre-save Hazlett’s album.
