(October 17, 2019) As the title of Sargent Tucker’s latest EP – You Can’t Text Love Away – attests, Tucker is a fan of three-dimensional, face-to-face modes of communication. That’s not to say that there’s no place for 21st Century technology in his life; it’s just that Tucker believes people spend too much time staring at screens on their phone, tablets, and lap-tops than making a human connection. Those old-school sensibilities come through on “No One Can Replace You,” the latest single from his EP.
Everything about this tune, from Tucker’s buttery yet full-throated vocal delivery to the analog production techniques, to the conscious decision to make this tune an ode to unabashed romantic love, to an arrangement that practically demands that couples dance together, invites that type of human connection that Tucker believes is missing in an increasingly interconnected – yet in a deeper sense, increasingly disconnected - world.
