SINGLE REVIEW: Catherine Scholz - Let This Be Enough
'Let This Be Enough' encapsulates the feelings of anyone who's ever felt underappreciated in love. It's like no matter how much of themselves they've poured into a relationship, it's never been enough. Feelings and actions weren't valued, and love wasn't reciprocated.
The song weaves through an array of emotions, from grappling with the idea of rejection to struggling to build meaningful relationships within the digital age. It also delves into the struggles faced by families during economic crises and embraces the idea of those who distance themselves from tradition and embrace their unique qualities. It captures feelings of turmoil, ranging from romantic trauma to family dilemmas and even elements of personal struggles such as homelessness.
While sharing feelings of uncertainty and crisis, it also captures the essence of unconditional love - love that can withstand life's uncertainties and all the highs and lows. It's about finding closeness within the darkness and comfort when things around you are falling apart.
The song is a beautiful, dreamy piece with a gorgeous folk vibe, strengthened by the immersive instrumental interlude, featuring a stunning sax break and a majestic swirling guitar solo, complemented by gentle violins. Catherine's vocals are wonderfully clear and tenderly heartwarming. They are graceful, dreamy, and comforting with a real homely quality, giving the imagery of a dark, smoky club with a slight cabaret edge. The blend of male and female vocals after the instrumental adds an extra layer of intrigue.
'Let This Be Enough' is exquisite, captivating, and a little sultry. It's a magnificent listen with an authentic, warming sound.
