Two-time Eurovision winner, Loreen follows up the global success of ‘Tattoo’ with the release of her brand new single, ‘Is It Love’.
Loreen releases ‘Is It Love’
After falling back in love with Eurovision and breaking history as the first woman to win Eurovision twice, Loreen hopes to get new single, ‘Is It Love’ stuck into everyone’s eardrums as much as ‘Tattoo’. ‘Is It Love’ is an exploration of love and music entwined. There is Loreen’s love for embracing her Moroccan-Berber roots in this new era of her career, with the flute elements floating through the strums of guitar strings. Yet, there is a strong narrative of the pitfalls of love, the uncertainty and challenges of deep passion which plays out through the emotive expression of Loreen’s soothing vocals. Of course, this signifies Loreen’s first release since she recently announced her new venture with TaP Music.
‘Is It Love’ was born from a place of seeking clarity, it’s a song describing and contemplating a love that’s so deep but at the same time filled with confusion. It’s about realising that to create a deeper understanding of yourself you need to accept the duality of life, that distortion and clarity goes hand in hand and are equally as important. And to experience the depth of true love, both to the self as well as to others, you have to accept and experience the depth of pain.
