Establishing the mood with an elegant guitar crescendo, expanding with textured drums into a timeless, yet emotive alternative rock energy, Dylon Maggio opens Truth Hurts with instrumental mastery and a pristine vocal performance with philosophical charisma.
We appreciate the authenticity that Dylon transmutes with his lyricism, tapping into a self-realized frequency, with fierce add libs in cohesion with an exemplary soundscape that has a high emotional quotient and a sense of familiarity that we cannot get enough of.
Speaking on the message of Truth Hurts, Dylon confesses, “This song was inspired by an old relationship and sometimes the truth makes itself known after the fact, so having to process that truth once the smoke has cleared can be a tough pill to swallow.”
We love the poetic prowess of his words, and the tangible realness that he brings to life with his lived experience. The song is perfect for Hollywood synch deals. The rising star from Nashville cites an array of influences including Prince, Def Leppard, Travis Scott, and Enya, which we can feel come through with his immensely talented nature and compositional genius, although there is no doubt that Dylon Maggio is en route to manifesting a sonic universe of his own.
Truth Hurts stands out as an anthem of raw emotional honesty and resilience. Dylon, who is also an international fashion model with a illustrious career spanning six years working for esteemed brands like Giorgio Armani, Gap, and J Crew, is carving a name for himself as a solo artist based between Nashville, New York, Los Angeles, and London.
With a background in extensive vocal training over the past six years, Dylon’s soulful voice resonates deeply in Truth Hurts, reflecting his musical diversity and depth. Collaborating with acclaimed figures such as Mick Guzauski, a 17-time Grammy Award winner, Dylon infuses each verse with a unique blend of vulnerability and strength, making Truth Hurts not just a song, but a profound journey through love, loss, and self-discovery.
We have added Truth Hurts to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to explore Dylon Maggio‘s wider discography, including Love Somebody, and Compare to You.
