Role Model Has Found Love and Wants Everyone to Hear About It
Tucker Pillsbury — better known by his stage name, Role Model — is ready to ditch his indie sad-boy persona for a more optimistic look. The 24-year-old musician told HYPEBEAST that after building a brand off of “being anti-love, hating everyone and not leaving the house,” his new album Rx leans fully into the power of love. “I started the album process at the same time that I fell in love for the first time in my life,” Pillsbury told HYPEBEAST, explaining the shift in his sonic style. “That was something I was always very closed off to my whole life, which I think you can hear in my earlier music. It was something scary to me, always, and when it happens, it hits you like a train.” His private-but-not-secret relationship — teased in his “neverletyougo” music video — is the seedling that h...
