Celine Love - Gold Plated Tears (Official Video)
Acclaimed indie R&B singer, songwriter Celine Love shares her poignant new single ‘Gold Plated Tears’, out now. The track is taken from her upcoming new EP ‘Colouring In’, out on 26 October.
With her previous EP ‘Aquarius SZN’ and single releases landing high praise from key tastemakers such as BBC Radio 1, COLORS x STUDIOS, Wonderland, Notion, DUMMY, ENFNTS TERRIBLES, TUSH Magazine, Record of the Day, Projext Liquid and many more, Celine Love returns with her most authentic music to date.
Having moved from Hamburg to London in 2016, Celine has made a name for herself as a favourite mainstay on London’s live music scene. Following the release of her breezy, summer single ‘Candy Eyes’, the new single slows the pace down and showcases Celine’s love for indie and folk music. With a haunting guitar riff at its core, Celine’s gorgeously sultry vocals take centre stage. Lyrically, it explores situationships that you find yourself pouring too much of yourself into.
She says, “I am a sad guitar girl at heart and find that I get to be me truest as an artist when writing with an instrument in my hand. My love for Jeff Buckley definitely comes to light in this track through dark and deep metaphors with an emotional and soulful performance. The song is about a situationship I poured far too much of myself into.
The first half was written when I was still very confused about it. By the time I recorded the song and wrote the rest of it I was more angry and hurt, which is why the song takes a turn emotionally. The idea behind the ‘gold plated tears’ line was a happy accident because I was simply trying to make the song fit the colour theme of the EP. However once I wrote that line, it shaped the meaning of the track. Tears were spilled because of the sadness and anger I felt but because I get to create art from my experience they became valuable. Plated in gold.
I can only hope the listener is inspired to be true to their emotions. This is one of the most honest songs I’ve ever written, and I especially struggle writing about people who have hurt me. If sining or crying along to the track can give anyone some sort of catharsis, then the message has been delivered.”
