Theresa “Love Conquers All”: A Dance Anthem with Depth and Heart
Theresa’s latest single, “Love Conquers All,” is a vibrant dance anthem that fuses the pulse of electronic dance music with a timeless message of hope and transformation. Originally penned in 2006, the song has evolved alongside Theresa herself, gaining new depth and relevance nearly two decades later. It stands as a reflection of her personal journey, with the artist tapping into a universal truth: love, in all its forms, has the power to heal and elevate. The lyric, “Love DOES Conquer All,” is more than just a catchy refrain—it’s a declaration of belief that resonates deeply with those who’ve walked through darkness and come out the other side.
The production of the track, helmed by UK producer Alfie Cattell, brings both a modern and nostalgic energy to the table. Cattell’s expertise lies in blending a polished, futuristic sound with a retro, early 2000s EDM flair, making the track accessible to a wide audience. The pulsating beats and shimmering synths instantly transport the listener to the dance floor, but also manage to feel right at home in more intimate settings. There’s an infectious quality to the track’s rhythm, creating a euphoric build-up and release that keeps listeners hooked from the opening note to the final fade.
What makes “Love Conquers All” stand out from typical EDM anthems is its ability to convey a message of optimism without being preachy. While many dance tracks focus solely on the beats, Theresa’s lyrics offer a deeper exploration of love in its many iterations—romantic, platonic, and self-love. The song is rich in warmth and sincerity but avoids dipping into sentimentality. Instead, it invites listeners to find their own meaning in the song, gently encouraging self-reflection while still being an exhilarating track to dance to. Theresa’s message feels personal, yet it’s one that can resonate with a broad audience who have experienced love’s capacity to transform.
Cattell’s production enhances the lyrical depth of the song by matching it with a sonic landscape that is both inviting and uplifting. The track takes listeners on a journey, with moments of calm and introspection followed by explosive bursts of energy. These shifts in tempo and intensity give the song a dynamic feel, ensuring that it never becomes repetitive or predictable. Whether listeners are drawn in by the emotional weight of the lyrics or the sheer force of the beats, “Love Conquers All” offers a fully immersive experience that lingers long after the track ends.
Theresa’s return to this song nearly 18 years after it was written feels like a full-circle moment for the artist, and the timing couldn’t be better. In a world often overshadowed by uncertainty and negativity, her message of love conquering adversity feels especially poignant. The song has matured just as she has, and that evolution is evident in the authenticity she brings to her performance. This is a track that not only makes you want to dance, but also to think, feel, and embrace love in all its complexities.
In the end, “Love Conquers All” encapsulates what makes Theresa such a compelling artist—her ability to craft music that is not only sonically engaging but emotionally resonant. The track is a masterful balance of upbeat energy and heartfelt lyricism, giving listeners both a reason to dance and something meaningful to hold onto. As the beats pulse and the lyrics soar, Theresa’s message is clear: love, in its many forms, truly does have the power to overcome even the darkest moments.
“An absolute tune!”- Melvin Odoom, BBC Radio 2.
TIHANE’s debut album ‘The War on Love’ is a genre-blending journey that flips the classic love song on its head—featuring romance, rage, and resilience through a sound inspired by her Polynesian Croatian roots she calls ‘Indigenous Soul’. Blending vintage soul, hypnotic grooves, and electronic textures with raw storytelling, this album explores the mysteries of life, love and healing.
Co-produced by Segnon Tiewul and TIHANE, ‘The War On Love’ features vintage record samples and rich live instrumentation, bringing together artists and producers from across the globe—including Ghana, India, Bermuda, the UK, and the US—and blending genres from R&B and Neo-Soul to AfroHouse and World Fusion. One moment you’re in a smoky jazz room steeped in golden-era soul; the next, you’re dropped into a futuristic Afro House beat flip.
The first single from the album, ‘Throw It Back,’ has dropped on VEVO with a stunning visual of TIHANE wrapped in a python snake, Polynesian dancing in a lush jungle. The track, which has picked up BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music airplay, fuses exotic melodies with a strong beat and thick low end that feels sensually, spiritually, and wildly alive. Directed by TIHANE with cinematography/camera by Chris Oeurn, color grade by Cris Blyth and assistant camera operation by the song’s co-producer, Segnon Tiewul, the ‘Throw It Back’ video boasts a motley crew of adventurous creators who merge cinema with raw ceremony.
On the single, TIHANE says; “I hadn’t produced a track in years. But one day—mid-heartbreak—I locked myself in a studio and let the pain move through me. No plans. Just pure flow. It was raw. It was sensual. It was powerful. That was the moment I realized just how much of my power I’d been giving away—like so many women do. Performing love. Proving worth. Fighting to be chosen. This song became the sound of me remembering my own pulse. The lyrics came through fast, like they’d been waiting. A feminine force—both fierce and tender—took over. She wasn’t asking. She was commanding me: back into the body, back into pleasure, back into truth. Throw It Back might sound like a dance track—and it is—but it’s also ceremonial. It’s for anyone who’s had to move through ache… and figure out how to dance in that fire.”

TIHANE currently lives between Los Angeles and London, crafting sonic sanctuaries for those ready to feel again and rise again. The single and album follow the release of her track “Ain’t That A B!tch” last year, which got significant acclaim from Clash Magazine, EARMILK, CULTR, and more.
TIHANE’s powerhouse vocals have drawn comparisons to Amy Winehouse, Sade, Cleo Sol, and Adele—delivering the kind of soul you feel in your bones. From nostalgic melodies to her signature twist of rap-singing and percussion-driven drops, her sound is a dynamic force. She’s performed across four continents—from historic venues like L’Olympia (Paris) and Bush Hall (London) to cultural platforms like TEDx, Stamp The Wax, and BBC Introducing. Festival highlights include SXSW, Soho House NYC, Homecoming (South Africa), Nyege Nyege (Uganda), and Africa Nouveau (Kenya).
TIHANE’s debut album ‘The War on Love’ — an ode to radical tenderness— is both a personal testimony and a universal offering that invites listeners to feel deeply, move freely, and remember who they are.
