While One Million Love Songs revolves around relationships, Viscius doesn’t solely center the narrative on other people. Rather, she places an emphasis on the wispy way we’re all interconnected. She uses her spacious arrangements to honor the lasting effects of these game-changing relationships without losing herself completely. There are moments of deep inner conflict, like on “Sweet,” where she yearns for a freedom that only she can give herself. It’s not like she disappears into her partners—instead, she derives a new understanding and strength from the different version of herself she finds with them. She’s candid about how love is fluid and fickle and how, at the end of the day, all you have is yourself. The lofty percussion and lithe vocals on “Change” mimic the way that kisses come and go, but that feeling of truly seeing yourself in light of someone else is something no break-up can take from you.
We’re never truly the same after sharing so much of ourselves with someone, but the truth is: Having the opportunity to foster such a tender bond is something to treasure. Even on “Get It Right,” as Viscius introduces heavy handed guitars that are stark comparison to the otherwise sedated atmospherics that ornament the LP, it feels like just another stop on the spectrum of emotion that love elicits from us. There’s no right or wrong way to do it—there’s no rulebook, no way that you’re “supposed” to feel when faced with such pure devotion and subsequent grief.
