It’s been three years since Tegan and Sara’s groundbreaking record Heartthrob was released and catapulted the indie darlings into superstardom. The pop album was all over the charts thanks to its infectious lead single Closer and heartbreak how-tos like I Was A Fool and How Come You Don’t Want Me. Now the Canadian musicians have dropped the lead single from their upcoming eight studio album and we can’t stop playing it.
Boyfriend acts as the first official single from Love You To Death and has the Quin sisters doing what they do best - giving listeners a cathartic are we/aren’t we relationship song they can dance to.
Singing “You treat me like your boyfriend / And trust me like a very best friend / You kiss me like your boyfriend / You call me up like you want your best friend / You turn me on like you want you boyfriend”, the Quin sisters tap into the scenario of being in love while being kept a secret, again proving that deeply personal and emotional lyrics don’t have to be sad ballads.
Tegan and Sara are again working with producer Greg Kurstin, who helped create their album Heartthrob and has worked with Kelly Clarkson and Adele. The full tracklisting for Love You To Death features nine songs in addition to Boyfriend, including That Girl, Faint of Heart, Dying to Know, Stop Desire, White Knuckles, 100x, BWU, and Hang on to the Night.
In addition to Boyfriend, Tegan and Sara have also gifted fans with the track U-Turn, an upbeat certified sunny bop that deserves some serious radio play.
Love You To Death is set to be released on June 3.
