Torae released his last project, Heart Failure, on Valentie’s Day and it’s somewhat lighter project than his introductory album, Double Barrel with Marco Polo. The mixtape allowed Torae to go back into his stash and pull out records that otherwise weren’t suitable for the task at hand. Such is the case with “Love Is War” featuring Lydia Caesar. As Torae says,
“This is by far one of my favorite records. I’ve had this beat for like 4 years I always wanted to use it but I never had the project, song idea etcetera so once I decided to do Heart Failure I pulled it out the stash. I played it for Lydia along with a few other but she loved this beat. She wrote the hook and bridge around my verses & then we tweaked a few words here & there together. The end result is Love Is War. It’s been a favorite of men & women since it’s release. I guess everyone can relate to being fed up in one way or another….”
