Murad – Laser Love (2020)
The tale of an artist trying to find her voice in a time of endless and rather ruthless change is the basis of Murad’s debut single ‘Laser Love’. Combining hip-hop, soul and electronic pop, she weaves a journey of unending honesty. Emotional lyrics mix with rich melodies to transport you into her sound, tale and emotions.
Through her music, Murad is looking to give a voice to a generation facing historic uncertainty. This is done through her blended sound which has been honed over the years. With this single, she fills you with a cry for escapism while offering some tranquillity in the face of the current storms.
Murad’s vocals draw you into ‘Laser Love’ from the first second. Her unique sound flows over you and drags you into the pulsing lyrics. Her vocals are airy and have an almost hazy film over them. There is something easing about the flow of her performance which lets you lean back and relax. You feel like you are floating down a gentle river of sound as she sings. As you are floating, you can get lost in the cadence of her performance.
While the vocals draw you into the flow of the song, the melody forms the currents below the surface. There are rich notes at the start that have a wonderful depth. They give way to a thumping beat that grips your chest while the electronic overtones add to the chilled vibe of the vocals. There are a few layers to the melody that create a lush soundscape. The melody does lightly pick up the pace close to the end of the song.
Murad has you looking for an escape while offering you shelter from the modern world in ‘Laser Love’. Her vocals have a flow that you can’t help but fall back into. The melody uses multiple layers to create the overall soundscape full of electronic tones, deep beats and authentic feelings.
