With past releases ‘Oscar’ and ‘Things You Do, Pt.2’ rounding out an impressive 2018, Sydney producer ARONA MANE changes things up with a unique blend of R&B-Dance on his new single ‘TELL ME’, featuring the captivating vocals of Melbourne singer/songwriter Maribelle.‘TELL ME’ was one of those songs that involved a lot of trial and error in the initial writing stages, with ARONA MANE spending several hours locked away in the studio to find that creative element to set the core of the track alight before landing on the sampled vocal effect. “The idea for ‘TELL ME’ formed from late night…
