Yael Lanciano – Back to Love (2022)

Hope, comfort and love are things that we all need in life, but there are times when it feels like they are missing. Yael Lanciano brings these feelings to our lives through her single ‘Back to Love’, while reminding us that self-love is important. A helping hand when things are tough, the single lets us know that love is always there when we need it and that it can help us through even the darkest of times.

The single was inspired by a friend who was going through a difficult time and Lanciano’s own feelings during the pandemic. The emotions and experience of the time was carefully crafted around the skills she has honed since she started singing at age 7. While she took a 6-year break from music to pursue her career, the creative call hooked her and she was back to writing in 2020.



Lanciano’s vocals float into the opening of ‘Back to Love’. Her voice is gentle and like a sigh against your ears, that releases all the tension of the day. This sigh turns into a steady river of comfort as she reminds us that there is love all around us. There is a delicate touch to her performance that carefully fortifies your spirit, letting you know that you are strong enough to get through everything life can throw at you. Through her performance, she reminds us that the strength we need has always been inside of us and is unlocked by loving ourselves. It is a very empowering single that steadily, yet tenderly, builds up your emotional reserves.

As Lanciano’s vocals fill you with strength, the melody is all tenderness and soft clouds. The light tones that fill the opening soothe your soul as they create a plush soundscape that you can rest in. The lightness of the music bolsters the tender affections of the vocals, forming a really easy soundscape. As the single progresses, more layers are added to the melody, bringing soft pastel coloured clouds to your senses. While the lyrics build your strength, the music moves from soft clouds to glittering light that leads you to a place of self-love.

Yael Lanciano reminds us that love is always there when we need it whether it is from other people or ourselves in ‘Back to Love’. Her vocals help release the tension of the day, while comforting you and letting you know that you have the strength to face anything. The music bolsters this message with a soft pastel touch.
