While Aly & AJ released a demo version of their newest single back in June, the official version of “Take Me” has just landed. If you don’t include 78violet material, it’s the Michalka sisters’ first song in ten years–musically-speaking, the creative process has been a long and winding one, says Aly.
“People have been wondering what took so long–and it sounds horrible–but music became an enemy to be honest,” she says. “We were scared to write, we didn’t like what was coming out of our instruments–it felt like we weren’t going anywhere. Once we were able to embrace who we were and once we started writing again these last few years, we were able to find the direction we naturally lean.”
The mature, 80s-inspired track has been well worth the wait. Stream “Take Me” below.
