LYONN, “Just Say Hello”
I tipped you off to the joyous and sincere folk-oriented pop sounds of Knoxsville TN based Lyonn (aka singer/songwriter Tyler Gelrud) about a month ago, when I wrote about his EP Promenade. The video for “Just Say Hello” was about to be shot, and has now arrived! I must say that this absolutely adorable video pulls off probably everything that it wanted, especially for an independent effort. It’s just a great, winning story about a guy trying every which way to catch the attention of a girl sitting and reading under a tree in a park in the centre of town. Even with the help of his wingman and others, of course, it’s to no avail, until the magic answer of the story is revealed. And even though we’ve known all along what that is, sometimes it’s how you get through the story that’s most interesting! I guarantee you will smile and get caught up in “Just Say Hello”. Major score for Tyler and his Lyonn team 🙂 Promenade and “Just Say Hello” can be found for purchase on iTunes.
