I’ve always been fascinated by the quiet complexity of love, the kind that Raymond Carver wrote about, where tenderness and pain seem to exist in the same breath. Love isn’t always something grand or easily defined, sometimes its found in the words that are left unsaid, the fragile moments that pass unnoticed. When I first heard ‘What Love Will Do to You’ I was struck by how gracefully Laufey captured the feeling of being changed by love, there’s something comforting and heartbreaking about that feeling, that love makes you softer and stronger all at once.
I distinctly remember hearing this Arabesque by Debussy for the first time as a child. Hearing the notes flowing over each other like water left a huge impression on me, I didn’t know that music could do that, that it could reflect the sounds of nature so impressively. I remember taking the music out of the music library and sitting down to have a go at arranging it and not getting far, settling for playing it on piano instead. It wasn’t until I later met Rene Izquierdo that I believed that the piece was even possible for the instrument, which reignited my dream of playing it. It feels especially momentous to me that this piece is my first single with Sony as it has been present through so many different phases of my musical life. I hope you enjoy this recording as much as I enjoyed making it!
