Euphoria lights up the local scene with their new single โLove Me So,โ released September 17th. The song was honed in the bandโs home studio over a month and winds up feeling spontaneous while carefully designed. These university-age players have paid their dues on stages from The Camden Assembly to community coronation concerts, and here they bottle that live-wire energy into a compact, heart-on-sleeve statement.
The track opens tenderly, with ukulele riffs skimming the surface while the singerโs thick, aching voice rides low and intimate, but pretty quickly the arrangement flips the script. Gnarling guitars shove through like a tide, drums smack authoritative fills, and a thunderous drum solo replaces the expected guitar wank in a neat bit of showmanship, and he goes soaring angstily and yearningly. Throughout, the bass and rhythm lock in a groove that keeps the momentum moving, so the song never overstays its welcome.
Lyrically, the song walks a tightrope between personal plea and broader empathy. He sings, โPuddles reflect the ground you walked on,โ sketching a sensitive slippery aftermath, while the chorus, โโCos, I need to know / If you will Love Me So,โ doubles as romantic doubt and a plea for moral reckoning. When the singer asks, โWhy do we always have to fight?โ itโs not just about relationship spats, you can read it as a call against indifference โ a small-band, big-heart demand to care for the human race.
All told, โLove Me Soโ is a promising, catchy, and earnest step for Euphoria, thatโs messy enough to feel real. Listen to it on Spotify.
