760) Emma Ballantine - The Love I Seek

This exciting folk ballad didn't age a bit since it was first introduced to the world in 2015. The track's simplistic instrumental approach, genuine writing, and beautifully elaborate melodies are just part of what makes it so unique and effective upon first listen. The London-based singer-songwriter claims to be inspired by artists including Suzanne Vega, Tori Amos, and Kate Bush, and we can definitely sense their influence on her both sonically and lyrically. In the piece, Ballantine describes the kind of love she seeks using some really intense phrases ("I want a love that swallows me whole", "that drowns my doubts in a tropical flood", etc.). She describes romance that is primal and total and that same sense of something wild and adventurous is also felt in the singer's ardent singing style.
