Album Review: Your Love Is Not Enough by Adam Omari & Niamh McCoy
Alright, so let’s talk about Your Love Is Not Enough, the 2018 electronic banger from Adam Omari and Niamh McCoy. Released under the Sex Tape label (yeah, that name grabs attention), this progressive house gem is one of those albums that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. It’s not trying too hard to be cool—it just is. And honestly? That’s what makes it stick.
The title track, “Your Love Is Not Enough,” is where the magic happens. Niamh McCoy kills it with her lead vocals—there’s something raw and emotional about how she delivers the lyrics. You can tell she means every word, like she’s been through some stuff and isn’t afraid to spill the tea. The beat builds slowly, layer by layer, until BAM! It hits you right in the feels-meets-dancefloor sweet spot. Progressive house fans will dig how smooth the transitions are, but even if you’re not into EDM, this track has enough soul to keep you hooked. Plus, Adam Omari’s production skills shine here—he knows exactly when to drop the bass and let the synths take over.
Another standout for me is… well, okay, full disclosure, there’s only one track listed officially, so I’m kinda stuck talking about the same song again—but hey, it’s THAT good. Like, seriously, I’ve had “Your Love Is Not Enough” stuck in my head for days now. There’s this moment around the two-minute mark where everything drops out except for McCoy’s voice and a soft piano riff. It feels intimate, almost like she’s whispering secrets directly into your ear. Then the beat comes roaring back in, and suddenly you’re dancing in your kitchen at 2 AM because why not?
What really gets me about this album—or rather, this single—is how unapologetically UK it feels. From the moody vibes to the slick production, it screams late-night drives through rainy city streets. Or maybe that’s just me projecting, idk.
Anyway, wrapping this up, Your Love Is Not Enough might fly under the radar for some people, but trust me, it’s worth a listen. If nothing else, it proves that sometimes less really is more—even if the album technically only has one proper track. Oh, and fun fact? This whole thing came out in 2018, which means we’re overdue for another collab between Omari and McCoy. C’mon guys, give us more!
Final thought: Listening to this feels like finding an old mixtape in the bottom of a drawer—you don’t remember putting it there, but once you press play, you wonder how you ever forgot it.
