Performance tip

When rehearsing Love Is A Losing Game, use the short lines deliberately; clean releases will keep them from sounding disconnected. For Love Is A Losing Game, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With Love Is A Losing Game, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement and room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
