STEVE W BOILY Turned Romantic Ruin into an 80s Power-Ballad Hurricane with ‘CAN I TRUST YOU WITH MY HEART AGAIN’ –

CAN I TRUST YOU WITH MY HEART AGAIN, the latest visceral pop-rock hit from the master of heart-in-throat productions, STEVE W BOILY, is as high-octane as a hurricane. Performed by guest vocalist Ian Hardwick, the anthemic power ballad tears you right back to the theatricality of 80s rock, where fog-smattered production, soaring wildcard solos and build-ups of pure emotional tension all prise you into the escapism of romanticism.

The track captures the emotional war between longing for love and fearing another devastating betrayal, turning a question of trust into a widescreen rock confession. Boily writes from the point where heartbreak has already left its mark, yet desire still claws back towards the possibility of being cherished.

The ABBA-esque refrain, carrying the same earworm appeal as Lay All Your Love On Me, is the cherry on the aural cake for this infectiously high-voltage hit. STEVE W BOILY has long drawn from the classic rock force of the 80s and 90s, building theatrical songs with weight, visual drama and emotional scale. Here, he takes a current of uncertainty and augments it into a clarion call for the romantically scorned with reverence for rock.

CAN I TRUST YOU WITH MY HEART AGAIN is now available to stream on all major platforms, including YouTube.
