Flexing his range once again, Alabama-born and Nashville-based multiplatinum chart-topping artist, entrepreneur, and Slumerican Founder Yelawolf shares a new single and music video entitled �Make You Love Me� out today.

On the track produced by frequent collaborator and GRAMMY� Award winner Malay , a smoky bass line thumps beneath a hummable vocal harmony. Meanwhile, he leans into a dreamy cadence as he sings, �I�m just a lonely pillar holding up an empty building.� The melodies cut deep until he picks up the pace on the bridge with rapid fire bars punctuated by a proclamation, �You�re pretty enough to make a crook admit it, but I am a poet, upfront, no edit.�
This complicated romance plays out on-screen in the accompanying captivating visual directed by Patrick Tohill. Nodding to Prohibition-era flicks like Public Enemies with a fashion sense straight out of Peaky Blinders, it finds Yelawolf in an intense exchange with a mysterious woman. He sips whiskey in a sprawling southern estate only to meet an unexpected fate shortly thereafter.
About the song, he said, �It became about what I was going through and had been through in relationships. I�m giving everything I have just to make you want me. This suffering happens to a lot of people.�
Bootleg Kev personally gave the song its broadcast premiere on his syndicated radio show, and Yelawolf sat down with him for a deep interview.
In February, Yelawolf kickstarted the current season with the hard-hitting �Everything.� The latter has already gathered north of 1.5 million YouTube views on the music video in addition to 495K Spotify streams. Earning acclaim, HotNewHipHop raved, �Yelawolf is as hungry as ever on new lead single �Everything�,� and HipHopDX promised, �Yelawolf is back with a vengeance.���
Last fall, he initially teased this chapter during an intimate secret listening session. SPIN professed, �One thing is immediately clear�Yelawolf never abandoned his hip-hop roots. The culture is part of his DNA, pumping through his veins and busting at the seams to get out.�
The stage is set for his much-anticipated magnum opus double-LP War Story coming very soon.
