Tucker Pillsbury started rapping in 2016 under the mononym Tucker. The next year, he changed his stage name to Role Model and switched from rapping to singing. Another year later, he signed a major label deal.

Pillsbury’s relatable and confessional lyrics are often about topics such as sex, mental health and relationships. Looks like he has a lot to write about these days, for in October 2023 he broke up with social media personality and model Emma Chamberlain.

On the surface, Role Model’s new single Deeply Still In Love appears to be full of summer vibes. With its energetic drums and happy guitar melodies, it sounds like an easy-going, strummy pop song. But make no mistake: lyrically, it’s a break-up song, as expected.

The tune precedes his new album Kansas Anymore, which will come out on 19 July.

Deeply Still In Love by Role Model is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This implies that it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
