“How Can I Tell You? (To Love Me More)”: Brooke Combe Drops First Post-Album Single

The rising star unveils her infectious new release, marking a bold new chapter.

Produced by The Coral’s James Skelly, ‘How Can I Tell You? (To Love Me More)’ is a raw and powerful cry for connection with her father. Draped in a vintage soul backdrop, the track’s intimate and emotional lyrics are hidden below an infectiously upbeat groove. 

“‘How Can I Tell You? (To Love Me More)’ is a reflection on the often-unspoken pain within a father-daughter relationship,” Brooke says of the track. “Rather than a typical love song, it delves into the emotional struggle of a daughter who has spent some time trying to be seen, heard, and truly loved by her father. It’s a tribute to those yearning for connection where it matters most.” 

Known for her enthralling live shows, Brooke will return to Glasgow for a very special hometown show at Saint Luke’s on Wednesday December 17th. 

Brooke kicked off 2025 with the release of her debut album. Collaborating with musician and producer James Skelly, Dancing At The Edge Of The World is the perfect opening statement, showing a tantalising first look at the artist she will become. Redolent of those first offerings from Michael Kiwanuka and Leon Bridges, it revels in lush, orchestral arrangements, irresistible rhythms and a voice that could have come right out of Motown.

With a captivating performance on Later…With Jools Holland earlier this year, acclaim across the board for her debut album and tipped by Rolling Stone UK as ‘One of 2023’s defining artists’ in their ‘Ones To Watch’ and in Dork Magazine’s ‘Hype List 2023,’ as well as garnering support from the likes of The Guardian, NME, Clash, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Radio X, Brooke Combe continues to rise as one of the UK’s hottest talents.
