Reba Brings Intensity with her New Single "Until They Don't Love You"
Talk about a musical kick in the gut! From the first impact of drums with accompanying
bluesy harmonies, REBA brings ferocious musicality with the second single off of her acclaimed album LOVE SOMEBODY with Big Machine Label Group.
Co-produced by Reba and penned by acclaimed songwriters Shane McAnally, Lori McKenna and Josh Osborne, this song is hitting a chord with listeners, as the release is coming off of her separation from husband Narvel Blackstock. Although not autobiographical, listeners will listen for key note lyrics throughout the song:
Don't pay attention to your heart until it's bleeding Don't know what you have until you can't keep it Don't know what you want till you need it Don't know that it's love until it's leavin' Oh, when you left I shoulda come runnin You were right about everything I was up to no good and you knew it And now I'm down here on my knees
“When we released LOVE SOMEBODY I was reminded of the power of my amazing fans!” expressed Reba. “The energy and sass of ‘Until They Don’t Love You’ mimics ‘Going Out Like That’ but takes it up another notch. When we were talking about the next single, I kept going back to this one … it’s just so much fun to perform live.”
"Until They Don't Love You" is reminiscent of that angry phase following a breakup - while the instrumentals are powerful and prominent, the lyrics could be categorized as bitter and full of angst with a touch of melancholy. It's an odd juxtaposition that works, articulating a sometimes difficult period of time both musically and lyrically. In its own right, it's a power ballad and we're glad to hear Reba still being a force of honesty and empowerment.
