“Love in The Dark” by Plastic Martyr

Plastic Martyr is sharing with us her single “Love in the Dark”. Her music video for the single has recently dropped and she wanted to share it with our listeners here are ComicPop Library.

The single covers a harsh reality for several people that their love is not always enjoyed and shown to all to see by their partner. This really hits the heart hard when everyone in this world is looking to be loved and wants the whole world to see that love shining through.

Plastic Martyr takes that serious theme and weaves a powerful ballad around it. I love her voice and how it isn’t drowned out by the instrumentals. The down beat that she has in this single gets the beat into your body and makes it move with the rhythm.

Really enjoy this single and can’t wait to hear what she comes out with next. Here’s Plastic Martyr’s “Love in the Dark” music video through her YouTube channel and be sure to download her single from your digital vendor of choice – Richard:
