about
All Your Love is the second single from new Hamburg based soul outfit 'Angels of Libra' in collaboration with Irish singer/songwriter Nathan Johnston. The song was born from a collection of instrumentals recorded by producer Dennis Rux and the Angels of Libra on a TASCAM 388 8-track tape recorder in a remote house outside Copenhagen, Denmark.
After hearing the band's instrumental, Johnston wanted to put a modern twist to a traditional 60s sounding soul tune. The vocal delivery & style was inspired by Anderson Paak - who is known to take old school funk beats and phrases and superimposes them on top of modern r&b and hip hop soundscapes. The song is ultimately about the passion and lust that goes hand in hand with meeting someone new.
The vocals were recorded in Dennis Rux' 'Yeah Yeah Yeah Studios' in Hamburg shortly before the studio was destroyed in a massive explosion. Luckily the resulting tapes survived the fire.
Angels Of Libra made their debut in March 2021 with digital single “Kung Fu Noir”, a cinematic instrumental with mysterious vibes. Their first physical release however, came almost a year later, in February 2022, with double-sider 45 “Bless My Soul” / “Souvenir” on Légère Recordings, featuring music whiz Shawn Lee getting down over two modern soul steppers: A-side “Bless My Soul” is a dreamy funk track with a catchy hook, while the B side, “Souvenir” is a proper feel good soul number. With German singer Maiiah they released the track „Obey“, which was labelled „one of the most catchy retro soul tunes of the year“ by tastemaker station Radioeins.
The music video was shot and directed by Max Wyllie at Komet Klub in Hamburg - where the 'Komet Kollektiv' gets its name and where a rum & coke is called a 'Yeah Yeah Yeah Schorle' after Rux' love for the Cuban classic. The video is a follow up to the Angel of Libra music video – moving on from the black & white 1920s style to more of a 60s fashion featuring a performance from the band along with some trippy kaleidoscopic effects and ending with Johnston headed out for a stroll through the Reeperbahn and onto the Hamburg docks which is set to be continued…
'All Your Love' is available across all streaming platforms from Friday 19th August 2022 courtesy of Waterfall Records, Berlin.
lyrics
(Give me all your love)
(I want your love)
Well I was not expecting this
Soft skin and the way you kiss
You left me wanting more
No, girl I love the way that you're looking tonight
You got me feeling it
You're fine, oh fine, oh fine
I'm standing too close to the fire
You keep pushing me closer
I'm burning up
And I don't know what I would do without you
Without you, baby
I'm standing too close to desire
Keep pushing me over, I can't get up
She got me on the ropes
Looking pretty, looking busy like a ho, I know
I know, so
(Give me all your love, all your love)
Never had it like this before, yeah
(I want your love, all your love)
I can't do without it
(Dirty filthy love, all your love)
So tell me what you want, baby
(I want your love) I want your love
(All Your Love) ooh, yeah
She's in all black leather leopard print
With the boots to fit, it's a vibe, it's a vibe
Big brown eyes and a beautiful smile
You could be the grooves to my vinyl
You could be my sweet little apple pie
I'm standing too close to the fire
You keep pushing me closer
I'm burning up
And I don't know what I would do without you
Without you, baby
I'm standing too close to desire
Keep pushing me over, I can't get up
She got me on the ropes
Looking pretty, looking busy like a ho, I know
I know, yeah so
(Give me all your love, all your love)
Never had it like this before, yeah
(I want your love, all your love)
I can't do without it
(Dirty filthy love, all your love)
Just tell me what you want, baby
(I want your love) I want your love
Your love
I was half asleep you were half drunk
You asked me to come over I couldn't resist
I thought we had that chance
If I took that last bus down to Rosemoon house
In the midnight mist.
Have you ever seen the stars in the city?
Have you ever felt alone in the city?
Come give me your love
I want you with me
