The Single Notez 🎶:

Tom Martin performs the vocals on “Leave a Little Love”; beautiful, exuberant performance by all means

The form of the record features mostly chorus sections (pre-, chorus, and post-), but there is one verse and a bridge section as well

Love the bright, colorful nature of the production work (synths, drum groove); Alesso, van Burren & De Goeij make a formidable tandem

The chorus is the centerpiece of the record; catchy, infectious, and quite memorable

There is clear separation between the verse and chorus sections; Martin sings lower and more in his mid-register during this section

There’s a key change out of left field, which is pretty cool; key changes are more of a rarity than a go-to these days

Respectable duration at three minutes and change

➖ Cons? What cons?


Memorable lyric:

“Before you go and leave my life
Find paradise in someone else’s eyes
Just one thing you’ll promise me
I’m begging please, please, please
Just leave a little love for me.”

🔏 In Closing: Alesso and Armin van Buuren team up for the bright, energetic, love-filled dance/house gem, “Leave a Little Love.”
