Fremantle singer-songwriter Helen Townsend returns with "Is This Love," a sunny Honky Tonk number that captures the beautifully complicated emotions of falling for someone. Townsend wrote the song for Shannon Smith after their first meeting, and it captures excitement, uncertainty, caution, and fear.
"Is This Love" explores the emotional confusion that can follow a new relationship. The song's upbeat Honky Tonk foundation provides a high-energy backdrop for feelings that are anything but simple. The song has an emotional core that is easy to relate to, inspired by Townsend being smitten but also confused, thrilled, cautious, and fearful.
What makes This Love" special is T. Townshend's ability to combine complicated feelings with an up-tempo Honky Tonk flair. It's positive and thoughtful at the same time, conveying the thrill of discovering something that matters, but also the reluctance that can come with it. Helen Townsend's "This Love" takes a moment of romantic doubt and turns it into a peppy musical sketch about falling, wondering, and finally realizing some feelings are meant to stay.
