This is a nice song. It is sung in a sweet timbre. It was produced by a terrific musician. It was mixed and mastered by the man who can do no wrong. This cover is, however, unremarkable.
Wafia is known to most for her cameo on Japanese Wallpaper’s ‘Breath In’. Her rendition of ‘Let Me Love You’ lacks what made that collaboration an internet sensation. It had feeling, it had dynamics, it left you asking questions, it left you wanting more. ‘Let Me Love You’ feels like talented musicians going through the motions in a token attempt at breaking through via the ‘so bad its good, and now its actually good’ novelty.
There is nothing offensive about Wafia’s well crafted version of ‘Let Me Love You’. But ten years on since Mario originally released the song, one wonders why Wafia and her team (Thrupence, Andrei Eremin) thought it was a good idea to rework it.
