In a way ShakoyahD.‘s “Is This Love?” is a song about the insecurities that eventually come along with relationships and the fear that love will not last forever. While things may start out perfectly, people in a relationship know that it is not long before the honeymoon phase ends. The honesty and vulnerability that ShakoyahD. presents in this song can be a bittersweet reminder to those who have been hurt by love but it can also serve as a reminder that there is beauty in vulnerability and that it can be an incredible gift to share with another person. So while on the one hand “Is This Love?” can seem as though it’s coming from a place of downcast misery, on the other hand, it can seem as if it’s coming from a place of awakening and newfound awareness. Shakoyah‘s voice has a delicate and sweet quality to it that makes a quietly impactful statement about heartache as well as the uplifting power of prioritizing yourself. The intimate and conversational tone of Shakoyah‘s performance helps to draw the listener in and make them feel like they are right there with the singer, experiencing this moment of openness together. When all is said and done, “Is This Love?” offers listeners a chance to enjoy a slice of soul music in its most tender incarnation.
