Produced by Fatty DL, Your Love Was A Gift features singer-songwriter Diana Gordon and rising country artist Sam Buck. It serves as the latest preview of the unannounced follow-up to 2021's 'Broken Hearts & Beauty Sleep' LP.
Blanco deliberately steps out of the spotlight to allow the vocal talents of Gordon and Buck to take centre stage over distorted guitar riffs and hushed cymbals. The shoegazey, atmospheric ballad follows the single Family Ties with R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, released earlier in 2022. Blanco commented:
"Your Love Was A Gift is for me. If not the most honest, it’s the most beautiful song I've ever written. The idea for the song comes from my own wins and losses in the game of love and it’s a story of coming of age as much as coming to terms in adulthood with feeling unloved, yearning to be loved and yearning to be understood.
"Diana Gordon is a standout songwriter and singer and I’m crafting this song with her as the lead vocal and myself taking the more experimental backseat was a deliberate choice. Diana doesn’t just glimmer on this song, she shines, she owns it she makes the heartfelt lyrics I wrote come alive."
