Melody Federer - I Hate Love [Review] February 24, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop, Indie Rock, Alternative Rating: 4 out of 5 “Melody Federer drops this Anti-Love song which delivers an eerie vibe — as if the track were created for a Valentine’s Day version of NIghtmare Before Christmas. There are clear Pop Elements, but ‘I Hate Love’ offers its own brand of angst-filled rebellion that wraps around your cold heart like a sinister snake looking for warmth. Dark and winding, the arrangement captivates and intrigues even as you fear the bite of those jaded thoughts.” — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)
Extra Special - I Hate Love [Review] October 30, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Indie Rock Rating: 4 out of 5 “Love, or at least the pursuit of it has embarrassed us all at some point and this dreamy Indie Pop/Rock track takes a look at those situations. ’I Hate Love’ is an ode to all the embarrassing things you do when you are crazy about somebody who just won’t love you back. Stalking their online profiles, picking out an outfit just in case you happen to run into them (and working out in preparation for that same occasion), learning how to be a master chef in the kitchen, trying to manifest them back into your life by repeatedly saying their name into thin air. You know, normal stuff like that.” ~ Bushell on ‘I Hate Love’ ” — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)
