Soulful production brings subtle layers of guitar and strings throughout a jazz-kissed ambiance, as Alex Marion delivers the exotic, intimate and smoothly catchy single Revolutionary Love.
Featuring acoustic instrumentation united with nostalgic flavours in both rhythm and fingerstyle, the release introduces an expressive and breathy vocal approach, along with deeply personal yet poetic lyricism and strength of songwriting on the whole. The result is a naturally alluring soundscape, with an ongoing melodic and conceptual progression that’s increasingly memorable.
By the time the final third rolls around, the space and quiet longs for those melodic hooks to return, and the rhythm and almost freestyle guitar-work adds a sense of familiarity and groove that’s just as addictive as the tune itself.
Faultlessly crafted and equally well performed, Revolutionary Love acts as a sort of timeless alternative single, a love song utilising aspects of RnB and jazz and pop as much so as creatively refreshing production. And all of this is subtle, even humble – nothing flashy, no filler. Real music, stylishly captured, and a pleasure to turn up loud and escape into for a while.
