Dutch Mustard turns a plea to be heard into something built for shouting back.

"Hear Me Out" may sound like a last-ditch attempt to save a relationship after a communication breakdown. But with a stadium-ready sing-along chorus and 90s-tinged alt-rock, Dutch Mustard — the London-based singer-songwriter also known as Sarah-Jayne Riedel, or SJ — turns it into more of a universal call to talk to each other than a plea to one specific person.

SJ explains:

This song is one of those moments, where it just falls out of the sky. Lyrically it talks about wanting to be seen and heard by a loved one. Not only because we should all be heard in a relationship (of any kind), but because it can save the relationship. Hear Me Out sonically travels through more stripped back moments, at the start of the song, then builds into a whirlwind wind of emotion and chaos. Ending in calm intimacy. This is a song for those who deserve to be heard.

SJ self-produced and released “Hear Me Out” on her own label, DM Records. Listen to our Song Pick of the Day on your favorite streaming service or below on YouTube.
