With Monday in full swing and many of us still recovering from a weekend well spent, it is fair to say that we are looking for some wholesome content to help us through the day. And, nothing soothes the soul quite like the classic sounds of pop. Enter the decorated singer-songwriter Shayan Italia.

Dropping his new single, “Armour Of Love”, Italia is offering up a love-soaked ballad that hopes to send his broad fanbase into the depths of their feels with lyrics akin to a romantic poem and his mellow vocal tone. With the warm crash of symbols and the gentle strum of an acoustic guitar also featuring, the song plants itself firmly in the centre of the pop genre, an achievement that is made all the more certain thanks to the song’s all-consuming and undeniably triumphant ending, which is ushered in by a harmonious choir.

“‘Armour Of Love’ is the love song of the year. It goes beyond sexual love and encapsulates the sacrifices one makes towards those they love for a better life,” explains the artist when contemplating the meaning behind his new track.
