Club pop artist Magdalene has revealed her newest track, ‘Tough Love’. It’s a flamboyant, dramatic track that tricks the listener by opening with luscious strings, before quickly warping them into a heavy, electronic pulse that underpins her smooth, acrobatic voice. “As an addict myself I know that tough love is sometimes the only way to get through to someone, and that real true love is being able to let someone go if that is what is going to serve them in that moment,” she explains. “This song is a desperate plea to a lover begging for them to save themselves so you can be together.” The track is accompanied by a manic video that brings us close to the drama of classic MTV videos. -Dan Peeke
