Tanoki's newest single, "Is Love Enough," with entrancing vocals of Farah Elle, is a sonic meditation that stays for a while after the last chord rings out. Spirited and spacious, inspired by Farah's poem on isolation and boundaries, the song reads in between the possibilities of close-up connection, offering "Is it love enough in here?" as its timeless inquiry.
Listeners are pulled into a world of twisted guitars, textured synths, and orchestral undertones, reimagining Farah's improvised piano and evocative voice into a genre-bending, speculative landscape. TANOKI's delicate edits and experimental production bring the song to life, tuning what can come off as a loose stream of consciousness into a hypnotic conversation between vulnerability and boldness. Farah's haunting vocal lines drift on a breeze, as tender as they are defiant, as if meant for contemplation more than for easy answers.
Directed by Paul Mahon, the music video reflects this emotional ambiguity with filmic intimacy. Bathed in a sumptuous interior courtesy of Willie Duggan, it creates intimate space for Farah and Zelda, conjuring the fine line between togetherness and apartness that the song suggests. Colour-saturated light and candid, intimate shots enhance the raw emotional pull of the track, making every frame an echo of the music's reflective journey.
"Is Love Enough" is a hushed space, an intimate conversation about the contradictions of intimacy and independence. Tanoki and Farah Elle have created a piece that feels vibrant, spontaneous, and completely human. It urges its listeners to hang around and feel it, and possibly to know, too, that sometimes, listening offers the most profound lessons from the questions left unposed.
