NEWS - "Don't Let Me Love You" is the new single from Bridgerton's fan-favourite 'Diamond of the Season' - Footman John. Releasing under musical alter-ego Modern Oli, rising star Oli Higginson has made a splash with his indie-pop artist project
His new single dives into darker territory, mining the painful depths of infidelity and a relationship in crisis. Accompanied by an upcoming music video starring Bridgerton co-star Emma Naomi, Don't Let Me Love You has a sad-boy atmosphere, with an almost indie-folk Jeff Buckley lament, Nick Cave-esque lyrical self-loathing, and melodies driven by cello textures, acoustic guitar, piano, and synths. Starting with a dark, brooding opening verse, the song builds into an anthemic cry for help as Oli's mind-blowing vocals soar to the highest of heights in its stadium-ready chorus that takes us from up-close intimacy to vulnerable power which he sings from the very rooftops. This is a song that creeps up on you, and like the memories of the relationships we once had and the people we once loved, never lets you go.
