“Not Another Love Song“ by Layla May

“Not Another Love Song” by Layla May is an empowering breakup anthem that tells the story of May realizing her love is no longer good for her, and that it’s time to end it. The soulful vocals dance beautifully over the R&B rhythms, crafting a dynamic sonic journey that keeps you hooked from start to finish. For anyone who may have gone through a breakup recently, or knows they might be about to, this song offers catharsis and comfort, and maybe can help give you that final push to let the relationship go. 

Lines like “this ain’t another love song” and “tell me you don’t love me anymore, I’m so done with you” immediately set the tone for this attitude-filled track. May has officially decided to give up on this relationship, citing the selfish and disrespectful nature of her partner that has driven her away. It can be hard to accept that someone you once loved has the power to hurt you, and that a relationship that started out great has the capacity to go bad. But May knows she has to prioritize herself, and the compelling narrative of “Not Another Love Song” encourages you to do the same.

The steady, swaying beat and plucking guitars form the backbone of the song as uniquely textured synths, horns, and strings sweep in and out of the arrangement. The passionate vocal performance is full of lilting vocals and catchy melodies that pull you in, and the building bridge leads you out of the song in a satisfying way.
