"Miracle Love" is a song by Australian musician Matt Corby, released in February 2019 as the fourth and final single from his second studio album, Rainbow Valley. A live version was released on 8 March 2019.[1]

In a discussion with ABC, Corby said he originally didn't like the song, believing it was "too basic" before reworking it. He said is particularly proud of the drums in this song.[2]

In December 2019, the song won first place in the Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition.[3]

At the APRA Music Awards of 2020, the song was nominated for Most Performed Alternate Work of the Year.[4] [5]

Music video

The live music video was released on 26 February 2019.[6]

Reception

Mixdown Mag said "'Miracle Love' sees the Australian musical extraordinaire channel his inner D'Angelo on the soulful track. Packed with dense vocal harmonies and staggered neo-soul grooves, 'Miracle Love' goes the distance to exemplify Corby's insane talent as a songwriter and performer."[7]
