“Leave Love Behind” is a shimmering new single from London-based artist Paul Cook & The Chronicles. Drawing inspiration from melodic styles like ’60s guitar pop, ’70s Americana, and Brit-pop, Cook impresses on the ethereal “Real Love Behind,” which represents the 7th in a series of single releases from the project.
Twangy guitar warmness and amiable vocals craft an enticing sound, emitting a soaring brand of jangly power-pop that resonates. “Are you better off alone, or do you need a ride?” Cook asks, the invitational playing aptly amidst the sun-suited guitar tones, fondly reminiscent of The Stone Roses. Cook, alongside producer Julian Simmons, crafts an enticing sound throughout “Leave Love Behind.”
