Alternative rock band FUEL today release their second single “Don’t Say I”, from their highly anticipated full-length album, ÅNOMÅLY out on October, 2021.
“Don’t Say I” is a modern evolution of the classic FUEL sound. Lead singer John Corsale’s passionate and soulful vocals soar from beginning to end in an impressive display of his talent. Carl Bell’s well-known songwriting combines catchy melodies with powerful, thoughtful lyrics.
John sings, “Just know that I die for your hand and live for your touch, Don’t say I, that I never tried for you, Don’t Say I, that I never loved you…” over the classic sound of the flowing guitar riffs and powerful drums that FUEL fans have come to love and expect.
In supporting the release of “Don’t Say I”, Stereogum says, “‘Don’t Say I’ is a mid tempo anthem that showcases Corsale’s vocal strength and Bell’s ear for magnetic melody.”
Carl told the outlet, “‘Don’t Say I’ was written in March. It was actually the last song written for the record. I’m always looking for the no-brainer song that everybody’s going to love, and those are always super hard to find. Anybody who’s a songwriter knows it’s not easy to come up with stuff that people [love]. I think the latest version of that was Olivia Rodrigo’s “Driver’s License.” You heard that song the first time, and you just go, ‘I don’t know why I love that song, but it’s so honest because she’s young.’ And you want that song every time, though it’s super hard to find.
