About This Song
About "Who Wants Love?" by Billie Holiday & Her Orchestra
With 'Who Wants Love?', Billie Holiday poses a question that hangs in the air like cigarette smoke. The orchestra answers with a warm, bluesy sway, but her voice holds a knowing ache. It's a cynical shrug wrapped in elegance, the sound of someone who's loved and lost, and isn't sure it's worth the trouble.
