Romy, Love Who You Love → Song Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

English singer-songwriter Romy sings about the power of love on her moving electronic pop/ dance single, “Love Who You Love.”

“Love who you love / I couldn’t hide it if I tried to.” Romy (Romy Madley Croft, b. 1989) delivers an open-minded, nonjudgmental, surefire electronic pop bop with “Love Who You Love”. Madley Croft penned and produced the moving “Love” with BloodPop®. Her The xx bandmate, Jamie xx, also contributes to the production.

The form of “Love Who You Love” stands out: intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, pre-chorus, bridge, and chorus. While there is plenty of repetition, particularly with only one verse, the “Love” never grows boring or the least bit stale.  Instead, it’s powerful and feels right. Romy is open about her love (presumably for her wife, Vic Lentaigne). “Oh, I’m in ecstasy / When she’s next to me,” she sings in the verse, and continues, “Finally, found peace / And I won’t feel guilty.” Amen, sister! With no need to hide her true self, she asserts, “Don’t care if the world can see / That shame don’t belong to me.” Her love is sufficient. In the centerpiece, the chorus, she confirms that love is love, and that is nothing short of powerful.

“Love who you love (Need your love)

I couldn’t give up if I tried to

Your love is enough.”

Accompanied by a sleek musical backdrop with a sickening beat, picturesque synths and pads, Romy has ample fuel for her love-driven fire. On autopilot, she brings the heat, and a heaping does of Pride to “Love Who You Love”.
