The Single Notez 🎶:

➕Great instrumental introduction; Incredibly brief, but ear-catching

➕ ‘Atmospheric sound,’ and colorful pop production; Valentin Buchwald and Arto Louis Eriksen do a fine job behind the boards (beat, synths, and pads are on-point)

➕ The plight of love is real throughout; on the first verse, while Kids in Fashion lay out the issues, yet music takes on a more blissful and enigmatic

➕ The second verse is a bit more defined and clearer; less nebulous

The second verse is more firmly planted in minor and of course, the “shitty” love experience

➕ If there was any doubt KIF weren’t feeling love, they make it crystal clear on the centerpiece, the explicit but incredibly infectious and memorable chorus

➕ Vocally, the falsetto by Alex is pretty sweet

➕ “Fuck Love” runs just under three minutes – perfect, satisfying duration 

➖ Mommy, they drop the f-bomb!


Memorable lyric:

“Fuck love
Give me another
Shot to recover
Don’t wanna know ya...” 

🔏 In Closing:

Up-and-coming Danish pop collective Kids in Fashion have their middle fingers up to the sky on the infectious, explicit bop, “Fuck Love.”
