Single Review: Love Me

After a short and dreamy musical intro, the rap begins and it’s an assured and clear rap, and Vallé’s Love Me sounds sublime. The classic syncopation of rhythm and rhyme is performed with a cool style, but it’s also intense and stirring.

The lyrical content draws you in with the moving story of how a Daddy hit the bottle but rallied with God and promised to “Raise this boy into a man”, it’s quite intense but the rap leads nicely to the tuneful chorus lyric “I know, I know, you have, love me”

Like a passionate plea, where an honest and open sharing of your story can help to gain a broader perspective and help you to appreciate what you did have rather than what you didn’t have, it’s clear there is an ethical perspective that Vallé wants you to absorb.

The songs influence is powerful and tangible, it felt like an ode to truth and love, with an underlying message of hope, with real desires and a wish for the listener to be a person of substance that can love and be happy.

A well-structured track with strong themes that once again shows the power of music, and how that in its many forms a song can exist to be more than just simple entertainment, it sometimes strives to be emotive with ambitions to inspire, as this debut track from Vallé does so, in spades.

★★★★ (4 stars)
