Arden Alexa created and released a song that speaks of love and romance on February 14th, 2025. “This Is Love” is a timeless ballad, a soul-soaked cinematic ballad that whispers of timeless devotion and deep connections. This song makes you feel every quiet promise and the truth that comes with true love. From the very beginning, this song opens with soul; it opens with beauty, painting pictures of a cinematic black-and-white romantic scenery, where everything moves slowly, the spotlight rests gently like a stage play full of romance, with two hearts meeting and emotions rushing so much so that you see and feel it vividly.
The opening of this song carries a soft and calming melody; the piano melodies were tender and paradisiacal; they wash over you like gentle rain; they are as beautiful as shooting stars. It’s like the melodies are carrying you to a world where love and melody coexist beautifully. The sustain in the melodies allows you to immerse yourself completely in its beauty; you’ll feel lost in its elegance. There’s a touch of melancholic feel to this opening progression, but then there’s an element that truly brings out the human emotion in this song, and that’s the voice of Arden Alexa. Her voice has a gentle hush; her voice was soft, warm, and vulnerable. You can feel every word she sings with the very essence of your being.
The atmosphere that the duet between her voice and that soulfully romantic piano melody creates is delicate, celestial, and elegant. The progression of the song unravels deeper sides to the instrumentation. The instrumentation is minimal and simple yet emotionally rich. The layered piano melodies give the song that cosmic feel, like you’re hearing a love song from the heavens. When the soft percussive drumbeat was introduced, it brought a tender groove to the song, and though still downtempo, there’s room for your body to sway gently to the rhythm. The inclusion of this percussive beat added a hypnotic and infectious touch. Together, the instrumental elements and Arden Alexa’s voice create the sensation of two hearts entangled in a ballroom, swaying to the rhythm of love.
The production of this song is beautiful and elegant; the slow-burning downtempo of the track allows you to be drenched in the melody and lyrical essence. The balance between the instruments and the vocals is pure perfection. Everything blends together, and each element is heard clearly while still producing a transcendent harmony together. The multiple vocal layers that were introduced for the chorus added depth and richness and deepened the emotional resonance of the song. The themes of timeless love, endless devotion, emotional sincerity, nostalgia, and lasting moments are evidently captured, not just in the beauty and emotions of the melody, but in the vulnerability of Arden Alexa’s vocals. Truly Arden Alexa has created a song that sounds and feels new each passing day.
