Tylan’s advice to aspiring artists is simple: stay true to yourself. Encourage authenticity and self-expression, and create music that reflects your unique journey, regardless of the challenges. His latest track, “Won’t Get It…,” exemplifies this philosophy.
“Won’t Get It…” is a deeply personal exploration of overcoming challenges and embracing vulnerability. Through introspective lyrics and emotive melodies, he unveils his story with courage, inviting listeners on a journey of self-discovery alongside him.
The song’s chorus, “Some might do drugs / some might do clubs / mistreating love / but I can’t judge / who can I trust? / who can we trust? / who can I trust? / when trust ain’t enough,” reflects a world where understanding someone else’s perspective is paramount.
Tylan recognizes the temptation to judge, but advocates for empathy instead. The line, “Til they walk a mile in your shoes,” underscores this message. True understanding comes from shared experiences, and judgment fades when we take the time to connect.
As Tylan continues to evolve as an artist, one thing remains constant: his dedication to creating music that speaks from the heart. “Won’t Get It…” is proof of this commitment, a song that resonates with audiences and leaves an undeniable mark on the R&B landscape.
