Between Passion And Peril: The Music Of Sound ‘Love Me’ Review

Words: Josh Parsonage

Embodying both allure and danger, Music of Sound are back with mesmerising pop hit ‘Love Me’.

Following the streaming success of their previous effort ‘Cold Weather Man,’ Indian-Welsh pop trio Music of Sound have been busy putting together ‘Love Me’, an energetic yet hypnotic tale of lace and wreckage.

The track unfolds from the perspective of someone deeply loving and devoted: “I can be your sweetest angel / I’ll never break your sweet heart.” Yet, the repeated plea to be loved and to “take me higher” hints at an intense, almost intoxicating relationship.

The genius, however, lies in the contrast – harsh, cunning lyrics woven into the dreamy soundscape. “I’m gonna put your life in danger / I’m gonna tear your world apart.” Songwriter Neil March here creates a captivating push and pull between affection and destruction.

Sherin, the band’s young South Indian singer, shared her excitement about the track: “We are super excited about ‘Love Me’, especially after we had such a lovely response to ‘Cold Weather Man’. The new single is up-tempo and has a danceable groove. We really hope people will like it.”

The trio’s flautist, Ellie, is currently studying for her BA finals at Goldsmiths University. That said, once her finals are over Music of Sound plan to head out on tour, so keep your eyes peeled.
