Sarah McGuinness – “Don’t Let Our Love Go”

Sarah McGuinness captures the soulful heart of London’s Soho on “Don’t Let Our Love Go,” a vibrant standout from her debut album Unbroken. This single serves as the official anthem for her upcoming Halyon Club live show in Leicester Square on March 22nd. Blending brassy charisma with symphonic swells, the track mirrors the unapologetic glamour and creative spirit of London’s historic artistic hub.

The track’s vibrant production unfolds with colorful charisma. Jangling guitar pulses and glistening piano get underway as bouncy bass and charismatic brass accompany shortly thereafter. McGuinness’s soulfully flourishing vocal work follows, “anticipating, it’s true” with stellar momentum as caressing strings ease in, as well. “Hope is fading for you,” the vocals continue to maneuver, yearning “I can’t wait to have you near me.” The magnetic title-bearing chorus dazzles in its responsive vocal adornments, brassy bolstering, and perseverant thematic weight.

An especially climatic sequence emerges past the two-minute turn, where twanging guitars and a symphonic swell builds into the “can’t wait to have you…” anticipatory renewal. “Darling give me a sing, please say you’ll be mine,” the vocals delight further as backing harmonies meld with strings and brass for a powerful, heartfelt send-off. “Don’t Let Our Love Go” is a surefire standout from Sarah McGuinness, representing one of many successes on the fantastic Unbroken.
