With a simple riff to pique your interested ears, Animal Years‘ latest “Talkin’ To You” charms listeners with each passing note.

A classic f-off anthem at its root, the Nashville trio’s folk-rocker grows into a robust soundscape with rich rhythms and an overwhelming, melodic thrust. But it’s the self-assured lyrical bent that serves as musical bloom here. Lead-vocalist Mike McFadden says this of the track:

l wanted to write a song for anyone who’s succeeded past someone else’s expectations. It’s a direct ‘F you’ to the person who didn’t believe in them and then came crawling back.

Nailed it.
