As a Prince Edward Island-born songwriter, guitarist, and producer, Logan Richard’s beckoning melodies have swiftly risen to prominence in the Canadian music scene. Likewise, sisters Moira & Claire write lighthearted, indie folk-pop songs that appeal to East and West Coasters and everyone in between. Together, the three have teamed up to write the duet, “Unrequited Love Blues.”
This song is about two people that love each other, but don’t know that the other person feels the way that they do. The song itself was inspired by the tragic idea of unrequited love, and the idea that it will never be anything more.
It originally began as an acoustic song, but after working with producer Colin Buchanan, he encouraged Logan and Moira & Claire to give it a try as a pop bop. Having several elements return in the last chorus (vocals from bridge, chorus, guitar solo) all overlapping and intertwining acts as a representation of the two unrequited lovers’ thoughts colliding. There is no emotional wall separating the two anymore, and the listener is left with an overflow of thoughts and emotions.
Moira & Claire were fans of Logan and covered his song “Lover Again” back in 2019. Logan was delighted to hear someone cover his song for the first time, and since then, they’ve been friends.
“This is a very special song for us as it is our first released collaboration with another artist,” say Moira & Claire. “It is extra special that the collaboration is with someone who we’ve looked up to for many years prior.”
