The Heart’s True Melody: “What Is Love?” Unlocks a Timeless Answer

In a world saturated with fleeting impressions of romance, singing pharmacist Emem Archibong offers a soul-stirring antidote with her new single, “What Is Love?” Now available for download online, this beautifully crafted track is a poignant exploration of love’s truest essence, directly inspired by the eternal definition found in 1st Corinthians 13. Through a thoughtful question-and-answer format in the verses and a scripturally rich declaration in the choruses, Archibong masterfully weaves a sonic tapestry that contrasts human inquiry with divine revelation. Released to perfectly coincide with the Valentine’s period, the song poses a compelling invitation: “What better way to celebrate love than by viewing it from God’s perspective, right?” This isn’t just a seasonal tune; it’s a heartfelt call to recalibrate our understanding of love’s depth, beauty, and timeless qualities through soulful melodies and insightful lyrics.

Penned and arranged by the Bradford-based artist herself, and brought to vibrant life by London-based producer Luke Grant, “What Is Love?” carries the uplifting, encouraging essence that defines Emem’s growing catalogue. More than an auditory experience, the song is a mission of shared affection, motivated by a desire to spread the love of God and inspire listeners to do the same. With its upbeat sound and thoughtful composition, this release is set to uplift hearts and minds, reminding us that the highest expression of love is not merely an emotion, but a patient, kind, and enduring choice—a melody that finds its perfect harmony in a life lived for God and others.
