FEATURED RELEASE

The single lasts around two and a half minutes and sits at a steady 105bpm. After “telling the wrong person” that she was a breast cancer survivor, Linda felt “belittled and broken” and gave up dating for ten years. Drawing from her personal experience, she wrote this track to help those who are finding it difficult to have self-confidence after coming through the ordeal of breast cancer:

“I wrote [Need Love]...to help other survivors believe again that they are beautiful inside and out.”

‘Need Love (ft Superstar Lamar)’ commences with a three second percussive intro that paves the way for the main vocal line. The vocal color is clean and stylistic; seamlessly synchronizing with the rhythmic vibe of the instrumental accompaniment. The steady beat, foundational bass and melodic strings combine to provide the perfect platform for the vocal.

The subtle layering of harmonized backing vocals adds a creative flare and depth to the overall sound without detracting from the lyrical prominence. The contrast between the initial rap and the sung verse/chorus delivers just the right amount of dynamic diversity to ensure that this single is engaging from start to finish. By the time ‘Need Love (ft Superstar Lamar)’ draws to a close, you’ll find yourself humming along with the catchy hook and in need of hitting that repeat button for another listen.
