Is This Love FREE Track here.

This was a very special day that sometimes feels can only take place in Los Angeles. The weather was perfect, the studio was reminiscent of a studio in Capitol Records during the 60’s. We truly hope you will enjoy this video as much as we do. Bob Marley lives on through this Bilal rendition.

We approached Bilal with the idea of doing cover songs and approached miguel individually. They are both very fond of each other. Bilal worked on Suite For Ma Dukes and the Grand Performances concert for Miguel. Miguel laid down some work on bilals record (Think It Over, Levels) and they have been working together for some time now.

It was Bilals idea to work on Is This Love. Miguel booked the awesome musicians and wrote basic charts. Bilal made sure to get the sound he was looking for. We recorded a couple of songs during this session. If folks are lucky enough, they will be released a little later in the campaign. If not, then you might just have to wonder for yourself how amazing Portisheads “Strangers” and Soft Cells “Tainted Love” came out.
