Is This Love - Allen Stone - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Growing up in the church, with a preacher for a father, Allen Stone knew he wanted to pursue music from an early age. As a teenager, he educated himself in the soul greats of the 1960s and 1970s and has brought this influence, as well as his spirituality, into his own musical offerings. Since 2010, he has been putting out records, picking up accolades, and making appearances on American Idol. "Is This Love" is Allen Stone's skilled attempt at recasting a Bob Marley classic in the Corinne Bailey Rae mould. The UK artist recorded her reinterpretation of the song in 2011 and won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance at the 54th Grammy Awards. Here, Allen Stone's vocal delivery evokes some of the best blue-eyed soul singers to do it. He performed his version of the cover during the tour for his self-titled album in 2011, while the original iteration of "Is This Love" was included on the 1978 album Kaya by Bob Marley and The Wailers.
