726) Melody Pool - Love, She Loves Me

Newcastle Live described this 2016 track as "from the Leonard Cohen school of songwriting - vivid, inflaming, wry and provocative". The song, off of self-proclaimed "angry folk" singer Melody Pool's album Deep Dark Savage Heart, serves as a takedown anthem towards an ex-partner. With a mix of verbal reality checks and coarse language, the Australian singer-songwriter's lyrics tell the story of a man choosing to idealize a volatile, unstable, possibly torturing woman over someone who would have a better influence on him - the speaker. The style in which the song is delivered reminds us of artists such as Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, and Dar Williams in its impactful simplicity and present, confident singing. Pool's vocals are commanding and they manage to stay the main focus in a captivating music video, in which the singer observes an abusive dance number from aside.
