How to Dress Well

"Words I Don't Remember"

Dark R&B explorer Tom Krell is preparing for his latest How to Dress Well tour, and he's shared a new song called "Words I Don't Remember."

The sultry song begins with pillowy synth chords and falsetto cooing, and it is eventually anchored by a slow-moving electronic groove with chopped-up vocals and pitch-shifted experimentation.

Krell explained in a statement, "This song for me is about love, trust, commitment... and what happens to these things and, like, what happens to really real love when sentimentality is so co-opted and ruined. What remains of true love in this world of simulations?"

Hear the tune below. It's accompanied by photo animations of Krell's face by Natalia Stuyk.
