Some artists sing about love.
Then there are the ones that make you pause and think,
“God… when??”
The way they talk about love, yearn for it, and express it with their full chest? Whew.
Here are some women at the top of my list who make love sound absolutely beautiful.
1. Olivia Dean
Olivia Dean sings about love so softly and sincerely that you almost forget Emeka that gave you breakfast even exists.
There’s something warm and honest about her music.
Like she genuinely believes love should feel safe, exciting, and intentional.
And honestly? It’s refreshing
No be everytime person go dey form hard woman.
2. Raye
The “Where is my husband??” energy alone deserves a standing ovation
Raye doesn’t hide the fact that she wants love.
Not the unserious kind; the real, deep, all-consuming kind of love is what she wants.
And there’s something refreshing about a woman being loud about wanting to be loved properly.
And the “let’s see how it goes love”
3. SZA
SZA will talk about love, confusion, yearning, overthinking, and emotional chaos all in one album, especially in Nobody Gets Me, chaiiii.
But beneath all that vulnerability is someone who deeply wants connection.
She makes love sound messy, but still worth it.
4. Tems
Our own Tems has this way of making emotions feel heavy in the best way possible.
Even when she’s singing about longing or heartbreak, there’s depth to it.
Like love is not just romance, it’s kinda spiritual.
5. Lana Del Rey
Lana talks about love like it’s cinema.
Dramatic, consuming, poetic, sometimes chaotic
But one thing about her?
She’ll make you feel every single emotion attached to being loved and wanting love.
And That’s on Being a Lover Girl
There’s just something beautiful about women who aren’t afraid to express love openly.
No games. No pretending to be nonchalant.
Just full honesty, yearning, softness, and emotion.
And maybe that’s why their music resonates well, because deep down, a lot of people want that kind of love too.
