With the release of so many new tracks in the modern day comes the usual comments of everything sounds the same and oh not another love song, but Brighton-based quartet Lime Garden is here to prove the doubters wrong with their recent release – Love Song.
The track has been an eagerly anticipated release for existing Garden fans as it has been a much-loved setlist track for a while at the group’s live shows.
Love Song is not only a new single for the group but it has also been announced as one of the tracks on their newly announced debut album ‘One More Thing’ so it can be assumed that this release will give a little insight into what sort of sound fans can expect to hear from the album.
This is indeed not another love song as the piece is an alternate take on the age-old declaration of love with the lyrics themselves stating ‘this ain’t a love song’ and in the most basic sense it’s completely right in that this isn’t a romantic ballad playing in the background of a movie.
This song about love is a funky, upbeat, groove-filled dedication to the one you love that shows the raw side of love that is sometimes avoided. This is all about taking an alternative look at love and focusing on the areas of love that get overlooked by focusing on the smaller details of adoration and affection for someone you care about.
Rather than over-the-top poetic descriptions of a partner and how the world is all sunshine and rainbows because of them; this piece focuses on the fact that even in the darkest of times we go through in life, the object of your affection is the one person you want navigating those times with you.
There is something beautiful in the composition choices made for Love Song because it isn’t what you would expect, the lyrics look into the unexplored side of love and the melody is a vibrant pulsation of sonic energy.
This is a love song for the alternatives, the misfits, the people who don’t want mushy, lovey-dovey bubblegum ballads. This is a sonic romance for the people who can’t put into words how they feel, this is a new-age love song that will live on forever.
Love Song is a modern hit and Lime Garden’s take on a musical concept that has been around for ages but with the iconic ‘wonk pop’ twist that the group emit with their uniquely crafted sound.
This female four-piece are a force to be reckoned with and we can’t wait to watch this Lime Garden continue to bloom and grow as their career blossoms.
