SINGLE REVIEW: Indy Fontaine - Is This Love
Just in time for a romantic rendezvous on Valentine’s Day, Indy Fontaine gifts us with a reimagined rendition of Whitesnake's 'Is This Love', infusing it with her signature style that leaves audiences craving more. With a seamless blend of pop, soft rock, and R&B, Fontaine's unique sound breathes new life into this timeless hit.
Indy takes ownership of the romantic lyrics, weaving her soulful, seductive, and silky vocals into a majestic tapestry that carries a distinct cabaret feel. It's a departure from my usual vibe, but I found myself captivated by the emotive power and clarity in her voice, slowly building throughout the song.
This beautiful version of the hit is an easy-listening, adult contemporary masterpiece, where Fontaine's vocals take centre stage, supported by a rich, bright piano, sweet-sounding electric guitar harmonies, and a subtle yet effective foundation of bass and smooth percussion. The minimal instrumentation serves as the perfect canvas for her voice to shine.
Indy Fontaine's rendition not only embraces the romantic essence of the original but elevates it into a diverse musical realm. The fusion of pop, soft rock, and R&B creates a dynamic sound that goes beyond the norms of popular music. The result is a captivating experience where her voice, like a star on stage, steals the spotlight, making this version of 'Is This Love' a memorable and enchanting musical journey.
