"Is This Love" is from the album Kaya (1978), recorded in London while Bob Marley was living in exile after the 1976 assassination attempt in Jamaica. Many believe the song was inspired by his relationship with Cindy Breakspeare (Miss World 1976 and mother of Damian Marley). Cindy herself has confirmed in interviews that the track was written about her. The song was composed during the period when Bob was living with Cindy in London, which gave Kaya a lighter and more romantic tone compared to his previous albums.
Released as a single, it reached #9 on the UK Singles Chart. Decades later, it surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify. The official music video was filmed at the Keskidee Arts Centre in London and features a very young Naomi Campbell (just 7 years old) in what is considered her first public appearance, dancing and singing along with other children.

We used to take music like this for granted back in the 70’s and 80’s. Now, when you hear it decades later, it seems to have an extra depth of colour and quality…
The effective way the clarinet player does a musical call and response to the singer is just mesmerizing.❤️🎶✨
