“Work of Love” by Becky Sikasa is a raw and touching journey about her experience with love. Her vocals within the first few seconds of listening are nothing short of transcendent. She tells a captivating story of heartbreak and provides a beautiful journey for her listeners.
The lyrical content in this song easily resonates with anyone who has dealt with the feelings that come with the complexities of love. Within the first minute, a slow beat picks up to compliment her vocals until the incredible drums and guitar solo happens to break up the song. It’s not hard to get lost in the soulful riffs of her voice while paying tribute to lyrics that are poetically manufactured into a cohesive story.
Within the first few lines, she draws you in with the words “No case ever closed/ so to speak”, exploring the idea that each love stays with you throughout our lifeline. She candidly expresses her experience with failing relationships while using the phrase, “The weight of love is not for the frail/when the narrative has set them up to fail.”
By developing her main chorus to be a simple phrase, “Work of love is not for the weak”, she says enough for the song to be understood. An elaboration is not needed because the power of these words is more than sufficient.
If you’re a sucker for honest and soulful music with a metaphoric meaning, then you must give “Work of Love” a listen. Her vocals and delivery alone will keep you wanting more. I can’t wait to see Becky Sikasa take the R&B world by storm.
