Alex Vaughn‘s next EP, The Hurtbook, will include the new tune “Talkin,” which was just released over the weekend. The R&B singer describes how a seemingly friendly split became sour because each party told a different version of events.

The song dismantles the wall of silence that develops at the conclusion of a failed relationship. Alex offers a heartfelt performance of the difficulty of sorting out who’s telling the truth in a “he said, she said” scenario, while also conveying the need of maintaining composure. This eurythmic reaction verifies Alex’s obvious truths as “Talkin” continues to ride the wave of the DMV native’s naturally mesmerizing, smooth, and seductive delivery.

In her song “Talkin,” Alex Vaughn encourages her ex to shut up so she can fact-check him. The young soulstress from the DMV returns with a full-length EP debut this autumn, following up on her raw and personal three-track Voice Notes EP. Listen to the record below.
