Reviewed by Aleksandra Brzezicka.<\/a><\/p>\n

Singer\/songwriter from Leicester, Michael Vickers<\/strong> makes a comeback with a brand new single, Please Don\u2019t Tell Me<\/em>. As in his previous releases, the track features only Vickers\u2019 vocals and the guitar that adds an intimate feel to it.<\/p>\n

Please Don\u2019t Tell Me is a simple ballad about the pain and relief that come after the end of bittersweet love and saying a definitive goodbye to the significant other. \u2018None of this matters I\u2019ll take anything other than this\u2019 and \u2018Drinking to help me to sleep but I bet you ain\u2019t drinking for me\u2019 sings Vickers\u2019 suggesting that even though the deal is sealed, the ghosts of the past are still haunting him.<\/p>\n

It is one of those tracks that won\u2019t rock your world. But if you listen to it while running tiresome errands or having a long car drive, it will make your day more bearable.<\/p>\n
