"I Have Never Loved Someone" & "Love Was There" featuring the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra - out now!
My Brightest Diamond is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of her hauntingly beautiful song “I Have Never Loved Someone” with the release of a stunning new version recorded live in August 2019 during a performance in Denmark for the Queen with the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra and German conductor Andreas Delfs. It’s a breathtaking commemoration and is accompanied by the recently commissioned “Love Was There” featuring Vincent Taurelle (Air, Beck, Christine and The Queens) on synths and Lydia Cleaver from the famed Cass Tech Harp and Vocal Ensemble on harp. The new two-song single is out today via all DSPs, available HERE.
“I Have Never Loved Someone” was originally released in 2011 on My Brightest Diamond’s All Things Will Unwind LP and over the past decade has grown to be one of her most beloved songs. The release of the song was followed by a solo performance of the single for La Blogothèque in 2011, watch HERE, which has amassed more than 750K views and cemented the track’s legendary status. La Blogothèque director Christophe ‘Chyrde’ Abric emotionally recalled this “Take Away” performance today, “Over the years, I’ve produced literally thousands of videos, with hundreds of artists. And I know that only a few ones will survive everything in the fragile drawers of my failing memory. The one we recorded with Shara in Berlin is one of them. It’s been 10 years now since we filmed her, on a calm and hazy morning. Ten years since, in one take, in 4 minutes, she strung a special chord in our hearts that we didn’t know even existed, and is now here forever, ready to make us cry in seconds. I’m forever grateful for this, forever bound, by this moment, to the wonderful human being Shara is. And guess what? I’ve played the video to write those few lines, and I’m crying again.”
