In this episode of I Talk To Myself Sometimes, we revisit Dru Hill’s debut single “Tell Me” (1996) — a soulful plea that blurs the line between desire and vulnerability. Through a modern lens, this episode unpacks how 90s R&B men often used sensuality as their safest language for expressing emotional need.
