The Single Notez πΆ:
β Vintage sounding production; Josh Crocker and Charlie Hugall do a fabulous job of constructing the old-school sound and vibes
β Doesnβt sound like much of the pop or R&B of the 2020s
β Groovy from the onset β definitely wins over the listener from the jump
β Nuanced, expressive, soulful vocals by Celeste; she hearkens back to singers of old
β Appealing, well-rounded songwriting touching on a retable theme: love
β Set in a minor key β always darkens the experience!
β Catchy, simple chorus
β Superb, contrasting bridge section; keeps βLove is Backβ ever compellingΒ
β Will appeal most to traditionalists; doesnβt sound anything like modern pop (Not really a con in my eyes)
Memorable lyric:
βLove is back... For a moment, there it goes Turn around, next thing you know Love is back.βΒ
π In Closing:
Celeste captivates on her love-driven, soulful, throwback pop single βLove is Back,β which appears on the deluxe version of her 2021 debut album, Not Your Muse.
