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.”
