World Goes Round returns with a sun-splashed new single, "Be The Love You Are." This anthem explodes with the spirit of summer and the life-shifting powers of love. It was released as the lead single from their much anticipated upcoming album Planetary Love, welcoming a season devoted to connection, unity, and heart.
The melody opens with its sweet but catchy beat and invites you to its loving arms. Musker and Lamers' entwined vocals serve as the centerpiece of this track, the two jokingly alternating on various lines as their voices naturally work off one another, sending a message of love and personal empowerment. "Be the love you are," they sing a simple but powerful reminder: The love we want to see in the world starts with us. It's an invitation to fully embrace the kind of love that unites people, a call to release negativity and make space for positivity.
Lyrically, the theme of love as a universal force runs through Be The Love You Are. It inspires us to transcend the self, be the change we seek to see, and emit goodwill from our being as we pass through. The song's message resonates perfectly with our moment, giving us hope and showing we can be one in a split world.
Musically, the band combines classic pop-soul with a splash of modern flair into a tune that sounds familiar and fresh at once. The groove rides a fine line between smooth and uplifting, a rhythmic pulse that propels the song along. The production is soft, and each note seems far from accidental, making the poignant message of "Be The Love You Are" resonate.
