Curtis Harding – True Love Can’t Be Blind
Curtis Harding returns with “True Love Can’t Be Blind,” offering a glimpse into his upcoming album, Departures & Arrivals: Adventures of Captain Curt, which will be released on September 5th.
Self-produced at Electric Deluxe Recorders in Austin, the track emerges from Harding’s reflections on touring life and the peculiar isolation of constant movement. There’s an irony in how someone who travels everywhere can feel so disconnected from everything that matters. The song captures that specific ache of missing someone while unable to escape their presence in your thoughts.
Musically, “True Love Can’t Be Blind” showcases Harding’s ability to blend classic soul sensibilities with contemporary production. The arrangement features layered vocals, subtle guitar work, and a rhythm section that provides steady grounding while keyboards and vibes add textural depth. String arrangements by Alexis Buffom elevate the track without overwhelming its intimate core.
The lyrics reveal someone caught between moving forward and looking back, questioning whether distance makes the heart grow fonder or more confused.
This track serves as an appetizer for what promises to be Harding’s most conceptually ambitious work yet – a space opera meets soul record that transforms personal displacement into cosmic adventure.
