Love the Real L Word? Meet Love Darling

09/01/2010- by Natasia Langfelder

Lesbians everywhere hated the theme song to the original L Word, but when spinoff The Real L Word premiered, the theme song was cute, fun, pop candy. Leaving lesbians everywhere saying, “Wait…who sings that?”

The group behind the song is Love Darling. They are an indie rock trio out of Hollywood, fronted by queer hottie Shay Magro. Also there are two other guys in the band, if you are into that, Mike Wolpe handles the bass, guitar & keys and Christian Jovanny Trujillo is on drums & percussion. The group is on their second album, the first was Pawnshop Radio ON and their newest is Sunshine Dust.

Let me tell you, Sunshine Dustis hot. In a summer full of disappointing music, Love Darling is giving the music world a piping hot injection of awesome. The band has said that their influence includes Smashing Pumpkins and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and that is evident in their music. They are hard enough to be rock and soft enough to appeal to the mainstream. Sunshine Dust delivers music that is repetitive enough to be catchy without the mindless repetition that plagues most of today’s music. The band’s lyrics are original and relatable without becoming mushy or pretentious. Shay Magro has a sultry voice with an edge. She sounds a little like Kiyomi from Hunter Valentine, but smoother and softer. If you love Hunter Valentine, you can’t miss Love Darling.

The first single is This Time, it’s a solid offering from the album and represents the band’s trademark style. A lot of the time, a band will suck you in with one song and then once you hear the rest of the album, it’s a big let down. However, those who purchase the entire album won’t be disappointed, This Time is not the best song Sunshine Dust has to offer. Other strong titles are Cadence, Close to Me, On the Line and my personal favorite, Forget This Part.  

But don’t just take my word for it, you can listen to the single, This Time, below:
