To bouts of loving – “Drive” by Oh Wonder

Oh Wonder Drive

“Cause loving you, loving you is too hard
All I do, all I do is not enough
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you”

LOVE – a lot of times, we hear the word as the subject of a song, left and right, day after day. The word has been used so often that we hear different ways of how the singer conveys the message. 

Songs are outlets for feelings left unsaid anyways, and love is a subject that causes us to feel the most complicated emotions too hard to put in conversation. So hearing another track – in this case – cooing over a relationship gone wrong, it should not be an uncommon occurrence.

However, there are times when there is an exception. More than the business of making a song, those few who succeed in portraying the simplest of words into genuine feelings are artists who connect with listeners and leave a mark that may or may not be noticeable.

One of those artists happens to be a Southeast London-hailed duo called ‘Oh Wonder’. Formerly known by name Wonder Wonder, this duo is composed of Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West. They have made songs together since 2014 and release them just as the current page of the calendar flips to the next.

With no promotion, fanfare, or even a foot set in an official studio, the creative way the two have come up in releasing their song is a rather risky move, especially with their status as artists who are yet to be caught on the radar. Yet, true talents are hard to suppress. Currently, Oh Wonder has more or less ten million streams on SoundCloud and their track for August 2015 is receiving much attention.

“Drive” is the duo’s track for the month of August, and is one of the few songs to be hailed as one of the most beautifully crafted indie-pop songs of the year. This piece of Polish indie-pop resonates even after you’ve played the song. The ethereal quality between Vander Gucht and West is a perfect harmony that fits and melds together.

Every word is clear, as they wash through notes and simple production of down-tempo and far in between beats cohesively gliding with the classical piano. With a simple setting that leaves a big impact and lyrics that are true and not trying, this song could be your medicine for late-night, quiet jams.

Listen to the music and decide the score of this song yourself. If you like it – and there’s a high probability you will – don’t forget to check out their self-titled debut album already out since September 4th.
