The Single Notez 🎶:

➕ Vintage sounding production; Josh Crocker and Charlie Hugall do a fabulous job of constructing the old-school sound and vibes

➕ Doesn’t sound like much of the pop or R&B of the 2020s

➕ Groovy from the onset – definitely wins over the listener from the jump

➕ Nuanced, expressive, soulful vocals by Celeste; she hearkens back to singers of old

➕ Appealing, well-rounded songwriting touching on a retable theme: love

➕ Set in a minor key – always darkens the experience!

➕ Catchy, simple chorus

➕ Superb, contrasting bridge section; keeps “Love is Back” ever compelling 

➖ Will appeal most to traditionalists; doesn’t sound anything like modern pop (Not really a con in my eyes)

Memorable lyric:

“Love is back...
For a moment, there it goes
Turn around, next thing you know
Love is back.” 

🔏 In Closing:

Celeste captivates on her love-driven, soulful, throwback pop single “Love is Back,” which appears on the deluxe version of her 2021 debut album, Not Your Muse.
