Taste Test: Geneviève Racette accepts her dark fate on ‘Magnetic Love’
Folk-pop architect chronicles a past lover’s continuing hold on her with a new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
We all have that one person whose sticky web is irresistible as it shimmers in the noontime sun. And they’ll saunter in and out of our lives like it’s nothing and leave a fiery pathway of deceit. We try to say no, but we can’t. The gravity is far too strong. Montreal folk-pop tuner Geneviève Racette is as a fly wiggling in newly-laced silky yarn, which spins her into a catatonic state, and no matter how much she fights against it, she falls back into a forlorn lover’s arms. “Magnetic Love” is a prime showcase for both her emotional turmoil and her withering, yet spellbinding, vocal tears. “I can’t fight the pull of your eyes, your smile, your mouth / It’s inevitable / You’re the North to my South / It’s never enough,” she mourns a fate from which she might never, ever break. “I know it’s a mistake,” she later confronts, letting the ash of the past fade away.
“Magnetic Love” kicks off Racette’s sparkling new No Water, No Flowers: Part 2 EP, out now.
