Today, King Tuff shared the third single from his forthcoming album Smalltown Stardust that's coming out on January 27 via Sub Pop. "Tell Me," which was co-written and co-produced with SASAMI, is a sunshiny folk-rock plea for love. "I don’t wanna spend another night alone / Only you and me can make it right / 'Cause I can’t keep my love from you," goes the chorus. King Tuff and SASAMI deliver a simple and mighty declaration of affection on "Tell Me." Love songs never get old.

“Almost every song in the world is about love, yet somehow there's still not enough love songs,” King Tuff's Kyle Thomas said. “And if you took all the love songs in the world and added them to all the love songs that haven't been written yet, well, there still wouldn't be enough.”
