If elegant pop stylings are your preferred method of artistic mindfulness, you’ll be glad to discover Martyn Scott, English songwriter with a knack for retro vibes and polite, measured lyricism. In fact, we wrote about him not long ago, proudly declaring: “one of those modern heroes that look at the past with admiration, absorbing every nuance of it, like a sponge in the middle of the ocean.” We stand by our words: Scott is a witty musical observer and a songwriting scholar, navigating the history of music with charm and character.
‘Bearable Through Love’ is the project’s latest effort, a poignant and nostalgic anthem that we are confident will gain the project a sizeable new audience. In it, the listeners will rejoice in Martyn’s evocative vocals, so precise yet dynamic. Framed in retro-pop ambience, the record shines off its own light, exploring human behaviours and gentle love while delivering a relatable and catchy chorus.
Delving into the lyricism behind ‘Bearable Through Love’, Scott explains: it is about giving yourself a good talking to, inspired by cosmologist Carl Sagan who said: “For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love.”
