About Is This Love
In the liner notes of Africa Unite: The Singles Collection, Island Records boss Chris Blackwell wrote: “‘Is This Love’ is a great song and I was always very happy with Kaya, the album it came from. It had a very summery, carefree feel. When the album came out, several reviewers said he’d gone soft. But Bob was feeling great at that time and those songs reflected how he was feeling.”
This song was dedicated to Bob’s wife, Rita.
