Kenyon France releases the bluesy Tell Me I’m Yours. The mid tempo track could find its way on Spotify’s Rock This and New Noise. “My parents split up when I was younger and my father wasn’t around. He would make promises, but never kept them. Even as a little boy I would try to be good or change in order to receive that love, but he still never kept his word.
