Naarm/Melbourne based indie rock / post punk artist ENOLA (aka Ruby Marshall) has premiered her new single “It’s Not Love“.
The song is out now via our Golden Friend, and it’s her first new music since since last year’s EP, All Is Forgiven. Get it here.
ENOLA shares of the track:
It’s about shaking the habitual tie. The song is about how we stay in situations & dynamics that don’t serve us because we have deep rooted bonds and attachments to people, places and the past. Sometimes, it’s not real love that keeps us in situations, but more fear, guilt & inability to let go.
The song is essentially asking a question, yourself why am I doing this? Why am I here? Why am I investing in this person or situation & does this make me happy? Is it love that keeps you there, is it a sense of familiarity & belonging? The weight of responsibility? And when was the last time you asked yourself this question. Is it love keeping me here? Is it love keeping us together?
Take a listen below.
ENOLA infuses hard hitting tracks with a stinging vulnerability, applying the salve to the self-inflicted wound. With an instinctual understanding of the balance between heightened drama and grimy reality, ENOLA is simultaneously screaming from the rooftops and digging their nails into the cracks of the pavement.
