Irish trio Adore shares their latest single ‘Can We Talk’, produced by Gilla Band bassist Daniel Fox. The single examines a pattern of abuse that festers over time and breaks you down.
Vocalist Lara Minchin shares the following about the inspiration behind ‘Can We Talk’:
“’Can We Talk ‘revolves around a pattern of abuse where one is picked up when broken, broken down even farther and is moulded into something subservient, meek and willing to please. There is an awareness that one doesn’t get into these situations from a good start. In my experience there has been something unhealed in me that has made me lean into control in the past.
It begins with not being allowed to disagree with small things, until dangerous patterns of behaviour come to the front and you are so beaten down and made to feel so worthless that you feel like there is no conceivable way you can leave.
It’s sort of like a horror film, where the threat is always there; it presents with small poltergeist acts, a glass is smashed, the dog keeps barking at seemingly nothing, until the force gains more and more power as it feeds from your livelihood. It’s only when it gets genuinely frightening that you realise that the threat has always been there.”
