2015 studio album by Cage the Elephant
Tell Me I'm Pretty rock band Cage the Elephant . It was released on December 18, 2015, and was announced online on October 5, 2015. The album was recorded in the spring of 2015 at Easy Eye Sound in Nashville, Tennessee .[14] Matt Shultz stated: "With this record, we wanted to be more transparent. We wanted to capture the sentiment of each song, and whatever emotional response it provoked, to be really honest to that."
On October 29, 2015, the band released the first single from the album, "Mess Around ", accompanied by a music video which was created using footage from the 1902 film A Trip to the Moon Georges Méliès .[15] Trouble " and "Too Late to Say Goodbye", were made available for download before the album's release. The second single "Trouble" was sent to alternative radio on April 26, 2016.[16] Best Rock Album at the 59th Grammy Awards .
Recording [ edit ]
Cage the Elephant recruited Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys to produce Tell Me I'm Pretty , with Matt describing him as "reactive" and keeping the band second-guessing themselves, urging scratch vocals and emphasizing first takes.[17]
Composition [ edit ]
The first single, "Mess Around ", was initially criticized by some for sounding too similar to material by the Black Keys; however, after the song "Trouble" was released as a preview in November, vocalist Matt Shultz told Alternative Nation,『...the songs have so much diversity in them that I don’t feel like any song is representative of the entire album, kind of like each sound has its own personality.』Matt also said that the band found inspiration in David Bowie for his eclectic and ever-changing style.[17]
Critical reception [ edit ]
Tell Me I'm Pretty received generally favorable reviews from music critics. According to review aggregator Metacritic , the album has an average critic review score of 73/100, based on 16 reviews.[18] Exclaim! [8]
Tell Me I'm Pretty won Best Rock Album at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards on February 12, 2017.[1]
