While the singer used this personal experience as inspiration for the track, it also speaks to a larger feeling many people go through in their life. Self-sabotaging behavior can cause you to become isolated from friends and family, and Montgomery hopes to shed light on this topic in “Talk To You.”
Check out the new song and accompanying music video below.
Known for emotionally resonant songs ranging everywhere from pop-rock anthems to melancholic ballads, Montgomery stays sonically consistent with his mellow works in “Talk To You.” His smooth voice coalesces with the synth-infused instrumentals to emphasize the track’s emotional meaning.
The visual for “Talk To You” is heavily inspired by the story of Frankenstein. With a black-and-white aesthetic, we follow Montgomery as he digs up a grave before reviving the body. Much like the original story of Frankenstein bringing his monster to life, Montgomery’s actions have consequences in the video.
He tries to spend time with his creation and do normal things, such as playing baseball and going to the movies. However, it quickly becomes obvious that his creation isn’t a normal human, especially when its entire arm falls off.
