Nashville-based chanteuse Miss Tess has unveiled 'If You Don't Know How To Love Me,' the latest track from her forthcoming album The Moon Is An Ashtray. 'Combining vintage-inspired instrumentation and Miss Tess' smoky, emotive vocals, 'If You Don't Know How to Love Me' explores the pitfalls of a long-term relationship that's fizzling out. It's the kind of tune in which the hurt lingers quietly behind the lyrics,' said The Boot, who called the song 'solemnly smoldering' and compared Miss Tess' vocals to those of Bonnie Raitt, Patsy Cline, and Lindi Ortega. 'This song speaks to the struggles we go through to compromise and make things work with a partner, while all along questioning the confidence of the relationship,' Miss Tess told The Boot. 'Are we trying to make it work because we truly believe it's right for us, or are we just stuck because we are comfortable enough, and too afraid of change to try something new?'
