The latest single by The Voice of Germany winner, Malou Lovis, is an unapologetic declaration of love. Written from the perspective of someone who never thought they would actually do it, the song explores love themes with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. Openly queer, Malou delivers her lyrics with wit and lightness, effortlessly sharing personal observations while maintaining a feel-good vibe. After all, love is love, and there’s not much else to say about it. Other than writing a cool love song, of course.
“I always felt like a misfit
I didn’t like to kiss his lips
Til’ I found out what it was – it was him
Took me a while to unfuck my mind
A good girl stuck in self-denying
But my heart started to run – when I met her“
Sharing an intimate confession is never easy. Doing it with a sense of humour makes it extra special. There is also an undeniable sense of relief in Malou’s lyrics which feels truly liberating. Writing them in this “oh-and-by-the-way” manner creates a feeling of emotional freedom. No unnecessary wrapping the subject in fluffy cotton wool. Just pure love and happiness which both bring a comforting perspective and a straight-to-the-point approach.
“I thought I’d never write a love song” is also a record of a personal transformation. From a person who is emotionally confused, to someone bravely and openly in love. And it’s exactly this approach to songwriting which makes Malou’s tune stand out. Even though one would think everything has already been written about love, this one feels fresh. No stale metaphors, but super light honesty instead. So, if you would like to find out how all of this sounds in practice, hit the play button.
