Most people listen to love songs hoping to find something they can connect with, a melody or lyric that resonates with their own experiences. Too often, they’re let down by tracks that are formulaic, shallow, or overly sentimental. But "Strange Love" is different—it's the kind of song that elevates the genre. It’s raw, grounded, and refreshingly real.

This track feels like it exists entirely in our world, not some fantasy of perfect love. The production is deliberate, every beat and lyric crafted to evoke genuine emotion. Listening to "Strange Love" makes you want to play it for artists churning out uninspired love songs and ask if they don’t feel a little ashamed.

When it comes to modern love songs, "Strange Love" isn’t just a standout—it’s a masterclass.

Multi-talented musician James Curd is an artist whose reach extends from the depths of the dancefloor far into the subcultural stratosphere. With releases on the world’s most revered labels, appearances at the most vital clubs, and composer credits for premium TV shows and films, it’s fair to say the Australian-based creator has musical intention coursing through his very being.
