Pop-rock musician and storyteller Dave Curl masters the groove and sentiments of heartfelt songwriting, with the short lines and vulnerability of an honest to uplifting Fool in Love.
Raised in Switzerland but with English-Australian roots, Dave’s freedom and realism as a songwriter is refreshing, and the clever contrasting of musical optimism and lyrical uncertainty for Fool in Love is powerful in representing that.
Storytelling is central to the appeal of the style – what begins as a declaration of lostness and searching, soon evolves into a welcoming embrace and sense of connection that’s inspiring and celebratory. The song is ultimately hopeful by design, the music and concept finally uniting in their sense of possibility and comfort, and the humility of the sound – these humble pop-rock guitars and live drums – all works well to highlight that sense of purity.
Featuring accessible vocals with a mild hint of recognisable tone and accent, Fool in Love marks a strong introduction to a songwriter with years of experience at the helm. It’s a catchy and well-crafted organic pop song, with subtle twists of guitar solo, and a lasting hook refrain that quietly lingers in the mind.
