Glitch Amour’s “Love.exe” — When heartbreak meets hard drive.

"Love.exe" is a collection of errors if you were to compare it to a computer, but the feeling was not only not lost, but also the heart kept trying all over again.

One way the crisis of love can be depicted is through digital means: Glitch Amour transforms the pandemonium in the digital realm into a poignant and emotional response.

There are times when you not only hear but also feel that the artist has not only created a new album but also a record of the correspondence with the inner self. The debut Love.exe by Glitch Amour is the same thing: a diary of hyper-pop written in pink code, borrowing words from heartbreak and noise.


It's emotional, shiny, and, despite it sounding like a machine sobbing, of a very human nature. Glitch Amour, basically, is Savannah — the voice, the vision, and the creative energy behind this virtual dream — along with her “ghost-coded muse,” a secretive entity that heightens the duo’s amazement that is outside this world’s bounds. They figuratively call themselves “part angel, part error message,” which truthfully sums them up.


"Love.exe" is the connection and the loss in the digital era that the album deals with — transparent, transient, and half-real.


Each of the songs might be a message you wrote down but never sent. The album captures the simultaneous feeling of a need to be close and at the same time away: going through memories, hearing the ghost of old texts, or staring at a “typing…” bubble that never turns into words.

The very first track, "Je t’aime.corrupted" is a sparkling opener that gets the job done almost instantly — distortion underneath sugar-coated vocals, like a love confession struggling to reach the surface. After that, there is “Bubblegun Heart”, a lively, melancholic song where sadness and heartbreak are presented in a deceivingly cute way. The combination of the stinging and the pop danced with, as if you were crying to your glittery eyeliner, is made here.

“In 404: Emotions Not Found”, the point is already getting across with the help of the theme. Glitch Amour experiments with the idea of emotional disconnect - the cunningness of how one can lose oneself in front of the screen, but at the same time pretend to be okay. The chosen techniques, such as pixelated beats, distorted echoes, and candy-coated synths that glitch and bloom around Savannah’s airy vocals, contribute to the production being chaotic; yet, it remains a prestigious work as it mirrors the reality of emotions that don’t turn out neat or clean.


“Delete My Feelings” is one of those great songs that combines the emotional pain of a break with a sense of revolt. The tune doesn’t take a new turn of forgetting the person; rather, it talks of the adamancy of your existence. You’ll find the chorus terse and catchily sounding, kind of a thing to make you scream and sing right at your mobile recording device simultaneously.


However, the song “I Kissed Your Ghost in My DMs” is mellow, eerie, and visual; it is a music-like reflection on a love that continues as an unread message. "Pixel Tears" is the same but slower, revealing the singer’s tenderness underneath her craziness. The work on this track is shining like a little flaw is found - unsteady and lovely.


Yet, when the listener is convinced that heartbreak has all the power, the lost or saved "Softboy.exe" and "Hyperheart Crash" come to rescue the party with their roaring vigor. The album’s glitter bombs are these tracks — humorous, go-getter spirits, and ready to surprise by glitching the dance floor. The listener is made to see the heroine’s gain of confidence, from the car crash into a comeback.


By the way, love might really be the thing that’s crashing at times. Nevertheless, in "Love.exe," even the error messages sound amazing.
