Settle down for something heartfelt and thoughtful – a timeless country-folk ballad with a modern conceptual twist. Blue Julius showcase the depth and precision of their songwriting and production style, with sublime featured vocals as ever from Dani Stacy, for Oh, Love.
Imagining what might happen if love was an actual physical entity, Oh, Love considers what we might say to Love, after having attempted to live without its joy for many years, or after having experienced consistent heartbreak.
Promising a reverb-kissed acoustic arrangement and soulful, intimate vocals personifying the character of love, Oh, Love feels like a classic soul-pop ballad from a simpler time, only presents that crisp modern capture and concept akin to the creative charm of Blue Julius.
Inspired by the need to remind modern society that love is always possible, even in the most difficult of situations, Blue Julius crafted Oh, Love straight from the heart, and blended their always imaginative style of songwriting with a classic arrangement of gorgeous acoustic finger picking and the live slide of the strings – with Dani Stacy’s beautifully soulful, intimate then impassioned voice as a guiding light in this nostalgic ballad format.
The result is a gorgeously ambient, organic listen, with a twist of something country-folk-like to the subtle instrumental nuance surrounding the poetic imagery and romantic connection of the journey. Lines like ‘you haven’t aged a day’ are powerful within this personification of Love, and the whole concept is so clever, lighting up a new sense of positivity that’s desperately needed right now.
