Riff: Twin Shadow – “Turn Me Up”

Dec 12, 2014

You got me needing you like you’re some religion/You told me go away like it’s my decision/But as soon as I pull away/You’re fallin’ back into my arms so I never forget you

from Turn Me Up lyrics by Twin Shadow

Lewis Jr. jumps aboard the sparse-808 bandwagon and vocally goes full pop 90’s R&B in his quest for unearthing hidden desires. While this whole shtick across indie music is played out, this is one of the better tracks around – putting the overrated, trappy likes of The Weeknd to shame.
