Love Is…is Suzanne’s third family album. Written by Suzanne Jamieson and 3x Grammy nominee Jason Rabinowitz, this album explores the concept of Love in all its different forms and expressions. The album explores self-love, friendship, community love, romantic love (a penguin love story), family love, and the nature of love itself. In a world of increasing polarization, Suzanne wants to encourage children and families to ‘turn towards love’ every day. Because what the world needs now…..well, you know.
Evaluation comments:
“Across the eleven songs on her latest children’s album, Suzanne Jamieson looks at love from multiple sides. And no matter what way she looks at love, she expresses it in an exuberant way that will capture the attention of listeners young and old alike. The album gets off to a rousing start with “I Turn Towards Love,” a sparkling dance pop number with a strong message about the power of love. “8 Hugs” is another big dance track wrapped around the idea that hugs can improve a person’s mood, while “Lift Each Other Up” and “What Love Is” deal with how bullying and hatred can be combated through love and compassion. The love of a pet is explored in “Best Bud”, and “Kid, I Love You” (featuring Jason Rabinowitz from the group The Pop-Ups) and “Sycamore” examine a parents’ love for their child. Parents, by the way, should dig the New Wave-y vibe resonating through “Unconditional” and “Love At First Sight.” Filled with high energy, heart, joy, and inspiration, Love Is, most certainly, is a many-splendored thing.”
