Song of the Day: Human Love – Rondo Mo

RONDO MO‘s first release of the year, ‘Human Love’, definitely sets the tone for a promising 2020. The track captures the London-born artist’s signature sound; combining airy synths with colourful production which serves as the perfect backdrop for the BBC Introducing Kent-approved artist’s warm, layered vocals.

Speaking on the release, Rondo Mo says: “Human Love is a song exploring questions of a spiritual nature – namely the contradictions of religion and the existence of god. The track was written in my head whilst on a 10 day silent meditation retreat, which was a pretty different experience to my usual writing technique! The chords and melody and most of the words were just rolling around in my head and luckily stayed there long enough that I could record a rough version of it on the piano when I got home. Then I used the original piano recording and fleshed it out in my studio in Margate using a load of samples and my Prophet synthesiser.”

Guys, be sure to check out Rondo Mo’s ‘Human Love’ as it’s absolutely stunning!
