Truman ft: Isabel - Tell Him (Official Video)
London’s Truman Unveils Poignant Visuals for “Tell Him” Featuring Isabel.
London born artist, poet and musician Truman has released the striking new visuals for his latest single “Tell Him”, featuring the quietly brilliant Isabel.
Built on minimal, dream like production, “Tell Him” thrives in its understated simplicity. Soft percussion and ambient textures create space for Truman and Isabel’s vocals to weave together with effortless chemistry. The track sits in that fragile space between feeling and speaking, exploring honesty, vulnerability and the weight of unspoken confession. Truman’s performance is raw yet restrained, his voice carrying an intensity that cuts cleanly through the minimal arrangement.
The video, directed by Saul Abraham, mirrors this emotional subtlety. Adolescent boys deliver the lyrics straight to camera, their poise occasionally breaking into moments of adolescent awkwardness. These scenes are intercut with tender footage of Truman and his Nan, forming a gentle study of vulnerability and the ways emotion moves through generations.
Abraham, a British Finnish award winning director known for his cinematic, socially attuned storytelling, brings a quiet power to the piece. With credits that include the Oscar qualifying short ENJOY, his direction lifts “Tell Him” into something that lingers long after the final frame.
Speaking on the track, Truman explains: “The song is all the words that sad adult men choke on, the deeper voice of their gut as they sink pints and sink into their assigned seats at the bar… Isabel sent a phone voice note as a demo, but it was so spot on it became the final take. The video shows an early moment in time when men are learning to mask, dressing up in a false self.”
Truman’s wider work captures the chaos and humour of modern masculinity, frenetic yet introspective, darkly funny yet unflinchingly honest. He slips between personas with ease: the repressed working class bloke, the cockney comic, the wary teenager. Each reflects a different facet of his inner life.
His forthcoming album Kid Raise Kid, produced by Jakwob (Lil Simz, Shygirl, Nia Archives), promises a cathartic dive into masculinity, pain and self repair. Drawing on influences from Kendrick Lamar to David Bowie, Truman uses character and creative chaos to dismantle the very structures he grew up inside.
With “Tell Him” setting the tone, 2026 looks set to be a defining year for Truman, one where honesty takes centre stage.
