The Beatles confidently proclaimed that “Love is all you need” during the summer of—well, you know—love (1967). And while no one can argue with the fabs’ proclamation, the 21st century finds human beings on a search to define exactly what love is and how it can mean so many different things to just as many people. We each have our own love language, but just like everything else on planet Earth, it’s our individual perceptions of those feelings that sometimes cause our miscommunications.
Enter Suzanne Jamieson who has released a string of albums that aren’t exactly children’s music, they’re more like bundles of concepts and catchy music appropriate for the whole family. Her newest album is titled Love Is… and explores varied paradigms of love, providing context for each exploration backed with a purely pop production provided by co-producer and co-writer—and three time Grammy nominee—Jason Rabinowitz who himself has been recognized for his work with his children’s group, The Pop Ups.
So, hang out with Suzanne and me as we discuss her new album, performing for a diverse audience, and a few special friends that she and I have in common. We can all agree that love is all we need, but let’s take a moment with Suzanne to explore exactly what love is.
