New York-based indie artist Kat Marcella debuts on our blog with the dream pop goodness of “Love Makes Me Cry.”
This song is filled to its brim with washed-out, shimmering guitar chords that reverberate to the far ends of the sonic landscape. These glistening spoonfuls of dreamy vibes are soon joined by a gentle rhythm section, propelling the track forward with a sweet yet melancholic sense of nostalgia. From the moment you press play, “Love Makes Me Cry” puts its somber hooks into you, compelling you to stop what you’re doing and give into its enchanting sway.
And if that were not enough, Marcella’s vocal performance is bound to immediately win you over, particularly if you enjoy the soft and whispery stylings of Hope Sandoval– the precise reason that we had to feature “Love Makes Me Cry.” The lyrics float into your ears as though the spirits of a dream sequence, with a ghostly lead guitar that emerges to fill in the empty spaces on the refrain.
Upon listening to the song, it’s very easy to imagine it being used as the end credits to any number of films that completely rip your heart out. And for those of you in the midst of a post-Valentine’s Day emotional drain, “Love Makes Me Cry” has your name written all over it. The track is now available everywhere you get your music.
