Watch JB Elwood's "Don't Go Looking for Love" Music Video About a Toxic Relationship

We might initially think that toxic relationships are rare and that they could never happen to you, but they’re actually much more common than we think. For this reason, the emotional wreck and trauma left behind by these partnerships is real. So, I’ve share a song that can empower anyone who has ever walked away from a toxic relationship, in order to experience some kind of catharsis.  I can safely say it’s got proven heart-mending qualities. A single “Don't Go Looking for Love” from JB Elwood is deals with the aftermath of a toxic relationship and the emotional turmoil that comes with it. His most recent number, “Don't Go Looking for Love” which feels like a strong combination of pop, alternative, country, and folk elements.

What’s special about the sound of this release is the fact that he sets the bar higher with some uniquely melodic ideas and a great production, which is definitely a secondary aspect against an artist’s passion and skills, but does nonetheless matter when it comes to one’s enjoyment of a song! As you know, production quality is important but it is definitely not the only thing to consider when it comes to the creation of amazing songs. Lyrics are also quite important, because they take the audience someplace else, enabling to really find a more immersive connection with the music. In this case, JB Elwood managed to use the song to tell the audience the story of a toxic relationships.

The song features a acoustic guitar chords, bombastic instrumentation and hook-heavy chorus that sets the mood perfectly for the artist’s raw and honest lyrics. The song’s theme is relatable to anyone who has ever been in a toxic relationship and struggled for searching true love. He is not afraid to share his personal experiences through his music, making him more relatable to his fans. “Don't Go Looking for Love” is another example of his exceptional talent and proves that he is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

Apart from this audio song, he also released the storytelling music video of this song. In musical video, Elwood is holding a scroll-like map of where he will find love. His ex-girlfriend follows him wherever he goes. The harder he follows the map to find love, the worse the situation gets. The lyrics of this track are in tune with Elwood’s sensibility as a songwriter and I love how he interpreted the lines on this song. Like all of the other songs in Elwood’s ever-growing musical portfolio, which is really outstanding about this track is the sound of the production. 

"The moment I fell in love with music was the moment I first heard Slash from Guns N’ Roses shred the guitar. I must’ve been ten years old at the time, and the opening riff from “Welcome to the Jungle” inspired me to pick up a guitar."
