Livia Drew embraces the darkest side of devotion with latest release “Destroy Me”

Livia Drew drops “Destroy Me,” her chilling portrait of devotion pushed to dangerous territory. The song is about a destructive love so overbearing that it’s better to be destroyed by it than to walk away. Livia Drew’s psycho romantic writing gives the story its unsettling pull, while muted Wurlitzer, poignant guitars, and ambient synths create an atmosphere that feels intimate and shadowy. “Destroy Me” succeeds in making obsession feel seductive and deeply uncomfortable, and its emotional darkness lingers long after the final note.
