Love Spells has shared his new single ‘Crutch’.
The songwriter – 21-year-old Sir Taegan Harris – is a hugely instinctual talent, with what comes out on tape mirroring his emotional landscapes.
Kevin Abstract is a fan, and after hearing his early releases cold-called Love Spells, inviting him to contribute to 2025 album ‘Blush’.
New single ‘Crutch’ is out now via RCA Records, an all-out alt-pop bubbler that fuses together R&B aspects with deft electronics.
The Houston-born singer pours his heart out over the sultry new release, which zeroes in on the pros – and cons – of emotional entanglement.
“‘Crutch’ is about knowing something is bad for you, but continuing on with it anyway,” he shares. “The push and pull of someone who loves you but can’t admit it – they stick around for that feeling of love without ever having to be responsible for yours. They use you as a crutch, and honestly, you use them as one too.”
Out now, ‘Crutch’ comes backed by a video directed by Alex Lockett, showcasing Love Spells’ raw choreography in a New York City dance studio.
