Need Your Love (3:39)

“However inside whispers suggested “Trembling Hands” was “too Coldplay” for Mandagi’s liking, especially when it started being mentioned as their comeback single.

“We were tossing up between “Need Your Love” or “Trembling Hands.”

“If I played it to a few friends, they liked it, they said it sounds like Coldplay. My worry was I didn’t want to come back after a year and a half with a song that sounds like Coldplay as the first single. Even if people don’t like “Need Your Love” at least it sounds like us.

“A lot of people don’t like “Need Your Love” to be honest. Some people do. But at least it doesn’t sound like something else. You’ve got to be brave. It’s always a risk. We’re so pegged and known for my falsetto vocals.”

Talking about his falsetto is the only time the mood of the easy-going Mandagi starts to shift, ever so slightly.

He’s uncomfortable with his falsetto being the Temper Trap’s trademark.”
