In the song, “Balu” is about the inspiration and the fascination of a doomed romance, which the band describes it in a press release. The music video shows the band running around London at night, finding love. 

Elbow’s new single “Balu,” reflects on the band’s new sound and the freedom that they had explored within the song. The band also wanted to bring a new vibe to Elbow with their latest single. With the infectious melody and triumphant horns, the new single seems to bring in a more explosive sonic exploration than their prior track.

“Balu” follows up from band’s last single which was “Lover’s Leap.” The track also features incredible rhythms, which helped makes the music so upbeat and enjoyable. Elbow’s new song, is a more gritty and synth-heavy sound.  The band’s vision for the music video, is about a obsession between two lovers, admonishes and forgiveness.
