Sufjan Stevens reunited with director Luca Guadagnino for the music video of “Tell Me You Love Me”, from his 2020 album The Ascension. “My love, I've lost my faith in everything. Tell me you love me anyway.” — sings Sufjan right at the beginning.
It’s a beautiful ballad that, instead of a usual acoustic guitar melody, is accompanied by lots of electronic layers and textures of different sounds. It may sound uncomfortable unless you’re already familiar with his style, but very rewarding if you let yourself get lost through the music, especially if you’re listening through a good pair of headphones.
