''Back In Love'' is Toronto based singer-songwriter Tara Van der Kolk's (aka Tara Van) second single of 2023. The new offering, following her January release Kicks, is further developing her sound while edging into emotionally charged storytelling and introspection. The track comes across as a mindful shift away from the loved up, illuminated sonic space that was their previous single.
''Back In Love written by the artist herself, follows the healing journey after a tough breakup. Love is an activity born via self awareness and will. It reframes connection not as something outside us to pursue, but as something built into moments of presence and purpose, sometimes alone.
It further opens up the experience of being labeled "too much", flipping that narrative from a deficient origin to an empowering truth. It contemplates an environment that is sometimes too small to hold someone in their fullest self, and the emotional and creative compulsion to move elsewhere. In this context, growth is necessary, and change is part of learning to become.
Tara Van brings a message through ''Back In Love'' that speaks to anyone going through heartbreak or their own identity spot of transition. In the end, it serves as much a personal reminder for me as it does a more general one that discomfort often brings growth, and returning to oneself is perhaps the deepest form of Love.
