This was the follow-up to "Black Velvet." It didn't do so hot in Billboard, and only peaked in the 20s in R&R. I liked it much better than "Black Velvet" and I've got the single somewhere.
"Love is...what you want it to be. Love is...heaven to the lonely."

Don't know this, but 'Song Instead Of A Kiss' is an AMAZING song. My fave by hers by MILES....

I liked it much better than "Black Velvet" Me too. I have a "Backtrax" type CD single with this song and "Black Velvet" on it. |

She had a minor hit in 1990 with "Lover Of Mine". I've always like this song - I thought it would do much better than it did.

This song became sort of the theme music for Z95's Chicago Top 30.

Yes, I remember this song. I thought it was really good. It peaked at number 24. A very good follow-up to "Black Velvet" . Too bad that this was the last hit for her. Don't recall if she even released a follow-up album.

"black velvet" and this are worlds apart in terms of sound... "black velvet" is slow and sexy. "love is" is an awesome upbeat pop song. i hear this song and i get images of kangaroos jumping all over the place ... LOL. probably because i prefer the 2nd version of the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed0qYvjakVI |

I like this one too. Too bad "Love Is" didn't take off as much as "Black Velvet" did.

I remember buying this album and thinking how different it was from the singles that were released. It seemed to rock a little more than I was expecting. A little Lita Ford like. It's been so long and I may be wrong about that though!

Was Love Is the first single from Alannah Myles' debut album in Fall 1989 but flopped, then after the success of "Black Velvet", was re-released and made the Billboard Hot 100?
