The warmly nostalgic “Tambourine (My Love)” is a delightful single from John Moran, who recorded the effort on an 8-track reel to reel. Understated guitar twangs enamor alongside lyrics that confess “nobody does it like my love,” gliding into a devastatingly beautiful chorus. “When we’re not together, the world is wrong,” he sings amidst dreamy flutes, emitting an irresistible glow.
“My love shakes like a tambourine, sweeter than cherry or tangerine,” Moran continues in the next verse, guiding again into the effervescent, throwback charm of the central hook. As cricket-chirping emanates as the track concludes, its lingering sense of comfort and ressurance is evident, and the melody proves wholly replay-inducing with its no-frills, nostalgic engrossment.
The artist is based in St. John’s, the capital city of Newfoundland and Labrador.
