If living through Covid-19 has done anything for the music buying public it has instilled a demand for heartfelt lyrics and an appetite to support talent that shines in a world full of pretense. Nerves are frayed for many; we are worried about our personal future and that of the world, and finding love often seems unattainable.
I can’t guarantee that listening to Toronto singer and songwriter Sam Lapro’s latest single Take My Heart is going to heal all your Covid-19 angst but it sure as hell is going to help!
Lapro’s delivery is velvety smooth on this slow and deliberate ode to putting one’s emotions on the line and musing about how you tell someone that you love them. Does the world need another electro pop love song? If the song is Take My Heart, which progresses with a beautiful and delicate feel, the answer is a resounding yes.
Telling a person that you have feelings for them is one of the bravest things one can do now and Lapro intuitively understands this. She bravely shares her emotions and experiences with listeners to connect on a basic and very human level.
With clear and distinct lyrics such as, “Just take my heart and hold it tight because I want to be with you tonight” we understand Lapro’s bravery and her longing for love. Will she be accepted or spurned … only time will tell. And that could turn out to be her next track!
You can stream Take My Heart on Soundcloud.
