Dear listeners and readers of Soundville, unrequited love is one of the sharpest, most timeless human themes. The most powerful way to channel such emotions is through art, and that’s exactly what Belle Blue does in her new single ‘Needed You More’. Belle Blue’s music suggests that a broken heart is no reason for self-destruction. ‘Needed You More’ is about self-respect, the ability to let go, and rising above circumstances. Powerful emotions pull you in, but the song lifts your spirits and offers hope, and that is always priceless.

‘Needed You More’ it is a whirlwind of emotions, an inner protest, even a rebellion. Listening to it sparks a desire to act. The sadness of love is there, but it quickly gives way to something else. Belle Blue hints that you either fight for reciprocity until the very end, or accept the bitter truth and learn to move on without shutting yourself off from the world.

The voice is Belle Blue’s main instrument, and she skillfully uses it to convey emotions. In the verses, the singer at times switches to a whisper. In the choruses, the voice is almost desperate. The impressive guitar riffs, in an unusual combination with the soft voice, create an excellent effect and support the main idea of the composition. Tommy English worked well on the track. The producer added sound effects without overshadowing Belle Blue’s rock character.

The message of the song is very compelling. Yes, loving without receiving the same in return is always hard. It’s nearly impossible to avoid sadness and pain. But immediately after comes a bitter awareness of reality. This doesn’t deepen the suffering but rather frees you from the grip of destructive feelings and gives strength to choose a new path. The song offers hope. Despite emotional turmoil, there is always a chance to leave it behind for the sake of the future. Amazing!
