Montrel’s “Love That Makes The World Go Round”: A Soul-Stirring Anthem for Our Time
Montrel’s new single, ‘Love That Makes The World Go Round’, isn’t just a song—it’s a heartfelt anthem of compassion, unity, and the transformative power of love. With a modern country twist, this track invites listeners to reflect on the small yet profound ways kindness can ripple through the world, creating a better, brighter tomorrow.
At its core, Montrel’s music is a reflection of his life’s journey—one that began at the tender age of seven when he discovered his passion for singing. By twelve, he was crafting his own songs, weaving stories that resonate with authenticity and emotion. Now, as an independent artist and songwriter, Montrel’s mission is clear: to connect, inspire, and uplift through music that speaks to the human experience.
‘Love That Makes The World Go Round’ captures the essence of Montrel’s artistry. With its tender melody, resonant vocals, and vivid storytelling, the song underscores the beauty in small acts of kindness. Drawing inspiration from a poignant personal encounter in Killeen, Texas—where Montrel met a homeless veteran—the track explores the spiritual and emotional growth that comes from showing empathy. “I believe this was a moment God was testing my spirit,” Montrel shares, offering a glimpse into the deeply personal experiences that shaped the song.
Lines like “Love that makes the world go round/ Oh yeah/ We need a little love…” reflect the universality of Montrel’s message: that love, in its purest form, has the power to bridge divides, heal wounds, and inspire hope.
Montrel’s musical journey has always been defined by fearless exploration. While 2024 saw him venture into melodic rap, dance, and R&B, this latest single showcases his versatility as he embraces the storytelling traditions of country music. Produced by Ben Meyers of iKon Music & Entertainment and composed by James Ashchoft, ‘Love That Makes The World Go Round’ is a masterclass in blending heartfelt lyrics with rich instrumentation. The warm, soulful arrangement perfectly complements Montrel’s voice, which carries both vulnerability and strength, making listeners feel as though they’re sharing an intimate moment with an old friend.
Montrel’s life story adds another layer of depth to his artistry. Growing up singing in church choirs, his early exposure to music was rooted in faith and community—a foundation that continues to shape his sound. His time serving in the U.S. Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom instilled in him a profound appreciation for resilience, human connection, and the power of shared experiences. These themes are evident throughout his discography, from the introspective ‘Good Intentions’ to the danceable ‘Move Your Body’ and the heartfelt R&B ballad ‘Pretty Lady (A Ballad For)’.
With ‘Love That Makes The World Go Round’, Montrel closes out a remarkable year of musical growth, offering a track that feels both personal and universal. His ability to traverse genres while staying true to his message of hope and unity is a testament to his talent and artistic vision.
More than just a song, ‘Love That Makes The World Go Round’ is a call to action. It challenges listeners to reflect on their own capacity for kindness and to recognize the profound impact even the smallest gestures can have. In a world often divided by differences, Montrel’s music reminds us of our shared humanity and the simple truth that love, in its many forms, is what truly makes the world go round.
As Montrel prepares for a new chapter in his musical journey, fans can look forward to more heartfelt, genre-defying releases in 2025. But for now, ‘Love That Makes The World Go Round’ stands as a shining example of his ability to craft music that not only entertains but also inspires.
So, when was the last time you reached out to someone in need? Could your love make the world go round for someone else? Montrel’s latest single reminds us that it can—and it should. Let this song be the soundtrack to a kinder, more compassionate world.
