As fans await the release of her album, Becoming (originally scheduled to arrive on March 3), Stacy Barthe unravels two lyric videos for two previously-released tunes; “Extraordinary Love” and “War IV Love.”
You’ve probably heard these tunes on BET’s Being Mary Jane, as many of her songs have graced the popular drama as an “unofficial soundtrack.”
It’s unclear when Becoming will arrive, but in the meantime, also be sure to listen to her Common-assisted single “Live For Today.”
“War IV Love / Extraordinary Love” by Stacy Barthe is a soul-stirring medley that intertwines two powerful themes: the struggle for love amidst turmoil and the transformative power of extraordinary love. Barthe’s soulful vocals navigate through the emotional landscape, blending vulnerability with resilience, and hope with despair.
In “War IV Love,” Barthe explores the conflicts and challenges that love often entails, portraying love as a battlefield where one must fight against doubts, fears, and insecurities. The song’s lyrics delve into the internal struggles and external pressures that can test the strength of a relationship.
On the other hand, “Extraordinary Love” offers a contrasting narrative, celebrating the transformative and healing nature of unconditional love. Barthe’s emotive delivery and heartfelt lyricism express gratitude and reverence for the profound impact that love can have on one’s life.
Musically, both tracks are characterized by their soulful melodies and intimate arrangements, which allow Barthe’s vocals to take center stage. The lyric videos further enhance the storytelling, complementing the emotional depth of the songs with visual imagery.
Together, “War IV Love / Extraordinary Love” presents a nuanced portrayal of love’s complexities, offering listeners a poignant and introspective journey through the highs and lows of the human heart.
