Los Angeles rising artist Jenevieve has shared a new single with the release of the somber but melodious “Love Quotes.” Tracing tenderly the emerging fault lines of a relationship, the track cruises sublimely through spacey beats and resplendent vocals. “I don’t need somebody to hold when it gets cold and I shiver,” Jenevieve resolutely promises as her layered vocals echo through the song’s wide-open soundscapes.
But the song doesn’t just reject the idea of compromising on an unhealthy partner. Jenevieve also refuses to allow herself to be put in a position where she might make poor decisions — like staying in a failing relationship — just to retain some illusion of “love.” The song’s title points to fabricating some version of love to justify holding onto something that’s dying.
And with its glowing synth-instrumentals and resounding atmospherics, “Love Quotes” emerges as this mantra of self-empowerment. Its chorus reads like a list of promises Jeneveive is making to herself, a soothing reminder that she needs to love herself enough to just walkway.
