Columbia RecordsOn COIN's new single "Talk Too Much," frontman Chase Lawrence bemoans the fact that he, well, talks too much. As it turns out, that's a problem the vocalist experiences in his real daily life, too.
"It's a pretty honest song," Lawrence tells ABC Radio. "If you like at the verses, they're pretty spot on to me as a person."
"Sometimes I'm just talking and I'm like, 'What am I even saying? Why am I still talking?'" he adds. "I think I talk out of a nervous habit, actually. It's a terrible habit to have."
The "Talk Too Much" verses, which combine abstract phrases like "red velvet" and "under pressure," reflect Lawrence's habit of rambling.
"It truly is the things I say when [I'm doing] exactly what I'm doing right now, rambling. That's what the song is," he laughs. "It's like comparing two random things...the words that you would not typically say, I, for some reason, when I'm nervous, just start rambling off just, like, my vocabulary, so I think that's where some of those words came from."
"Talk Too Much" is the lead single from COIN's forthcoming sophomore album, which is due out next year. The track fully embraces the Nashville band's '80s influences, like INXS, Talking Heads and The Cure, which they picked up while working on their debut.
"This huge resurgence came in our life with our last producer, Jay Joyce," Lawrence explains. "He showed us all this music that we didn't know. We didn't really have time to digest it fully when we were making the album, it just kinda flew past us. But now it's become such a normal part of our life, and it really had time to sink in and process it, and we were able to put our own spin on it."
