Lush organic pop delivers a timeless sway of a song that’s romantic and blissful to relax into. Lily McMahon reflects with heartfelt honesty and warmth, on the true power of love, with the smart lyrical nuance and nostalgic jazz-pop set-up of Not A Want.
Featuring a genuinely gorgeous piano part from Angelo Presta, Not A Want goes on to meet the immediate prowess of the music, with stunning and modest but distinct vocals from Lily McMahon. Then there’s the songwriting, a simple jazz pop vibe elevating a loving sentiment, which relatably reflects on the differences between desiring someone and actually needing them.
Perhaps a favourite song from the season so far, Not A Want brings a subtle hint of jazz, soul and RnB to live pop music, and in the process keeps things structurally engaging, and vocally recognisable. It’s a beautiful, radio-ready single, and an easy one to enjoy as the colder nights settle in.
