‘IDTYK (How To Love Me)’ shares a tantalizing and exciting peek into the highly-anticipated upcoming EP debut from Rexford, aka Sarah Tromley. While deeply intimate and personal to the artist, the single speaks to anyone who has ever felt disregarded, deprioritized or invisible in a relationship.
The appeal of ‘IDTYK’ is that it’s never dreary, because ultimately it’s a song about hope and choosing peace within oneself over the chaos and toxicity of a dysfunctional non-reciprocal romantic relationship. Like her recently-released infectious single “One Horse Town,” this new track explores the act of unburdening oneself from the illusion that a hypothetical perfect love can offer protection from tainted experiences.
When Rexford concludes “I don’t think you know how to love me,” she’s embracing herself. The song is bursting with strong guitar chords and builds to an upbeat, sparkling crescendo. Rexford’s smooth vocal tone evokes a perfect Saturday morning, dancing around the bedroom with utter freedom and pure abandon. With a message of healthy boundaries laced with quiet chaos, ‘IDTYK’ warmly invites the listener into their ‘confidence era’.
Expect a lot more from Rexford this year: Along with the forthcoming EP, this fall, the Portland-native is dropping her self-titled short film, “Rexford.” Executively produced by and starring Sarah Tromley, Rexford’s alter-ego, the film explores the concept of home.
Reflecting on her latest offering, Sarah shareD: “It was so fun to shoot the Rexford short film, because it allowed me to tap into my inner multi-hyphenate self. Finding ways to give fans a glimpse into my world is cool when you can do it in creative ways that validate your journey,”
But while audiences are waiting for the EP and the short film, there’s an opportunity to experience another dimension of Rexford at her live performance on August 1st at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood.
Tickets are available now for the “Writer’s Block” showcase at new.hotelcafe.com. Rexford plans to delight fans with more planned performances throughout the summer so stay connected through her socials.
