It’s a rare occasion that a song can make you forget you’ve ever been hurt by love. A song that can make those painful memories vanish and instead throw your hands up while singing loudly along with Paris Nix, “Love, please lay your burdens on me!” Paris Nix waves his magic forget-and-be-happy wand with his latest single, “Love Letter”, and the spell could not be more welcomed.
Paris Nix, a singer, writer and actor who joined the prestigious cast of Hamilton offers us the purest celebration of love on this single – it is quite simply a love letter to love. The track starts with some old-school Donny Hathaway vibes with tight background vocals and then
transitions into an exquisite hook that plays around with a delightfully unusual harmonic palette.
One thing that really makes this track instantly stand apart from the rest is the musical performance – there is an energy in the vocals and instrumental accompaniment that makes you want to jump up and participate with your mind, body and soul. It’s easy to imagine a crowd swaying their bodies and waving their hands at this anthem l’amour. AND THEN THAT RIFF. At the 2:39 timestamp we are hit with such a majestic vocal ornament that, if performed live, it would quite simply knock an entire audience off their feet.
Paris Nix gives us a moment to breathe before singing the hook again with a stripped vulnerable beauty, and if this doesn’t make your mind, body and soul shiver then I’m sorry to inform you that you may be dead inside (caution: not an official doctor, please check WebMD to check actual state of your deadness).
Advice for listeners: put on this track the moment you wake up for it will be impossible that your day won’t be filled with the contagious joy Paris Nix pierces into every hopeful heart!
