Tucker Nichol: It's the type of 'Long Story Short' you can't help but love
Someone’s pain is another person’s pleasure? Sort of. Bottom line? Singer Tucker Nichol is keeping it 100 with the music and making her points with the visual flex coming courtesy of her new ‘Long Story Short’ music video.
The lyrics hit hard but it’s the eye contact and visual presentation bringing it all full circle. Tap in and embrace it all.
Recent studies show that 1 in 3 young people will be in an abusive or unhealthy relationship in their lifetime. R&B artist, Tucker Nichol, tackles that very topic on her new single, “Long Story Short,” released today, May 12, 2023, and accompanied by a music video.
Nichol wants “Long Story Short” to be an anthem, not only acknowledging dysfunction for what it is, but for holding your head high on the way out the door and never looking back.
Written by Nichol, alongside Mary Weitz (FLETCHER, Alina Baraz, Normani), Adam Korbesmeyer and Jerry Lang II of cut&dry (Remi Wolf, PRETTYMUCH), “Long Story Short” is what happens when you finally run out of reasons to stay around a toxic person and no longer have the desire or patience to tolerate their toxic behavior.
With lyrics like, “I see a pattern, You’re an illusion, You gotta problem, Ain’t no solution,” Nichol doesn’t shy away from the sensitive topic of abusive relationships and moving on from them.
Nichol had this to share about her single, “Say what you want, but that wasn’t love” is one of my favorite lines of the entire song. I became so exhausted and disgusted by people claiming that they loved but treating me horrendously. I finally realized that real ‘love’ doesn’t look like that. People cannot be volatile with you and then use the guise of ‘love’ as a crutch to fall back on. We tend to have blinders for certain people, but when you allow yourself to see them for who they really are, it becomes a major lightbulb moment.”
Nichol was featured in Taylor Swift’s, “Teardrops on my Guitar” music video, is a former Miss Tennessee USA, and is married to former NBA player, Brandan Wright.
