What Love Is

Laced with soul and funk, 'What Love Is' rings in a new musical era for Zak Abel. Lyrically laying bare the 27-year-old's vulnerabilites, the track was co-written with Brendan Grieve (Sam Smith) & long-time callaborator Connor Blake (Dermot Kennedy), with Zak laying down vocals in the confines of his South West London bedroom. Nathan Duvall of Disciples (Calvin Harris) heads up the production, and it was mixed by Mark Ralph (Years & Years, Becky Hill, Rudimental).

"The song's about trying, even though you've been hurt before, or let down and your confidence may be a little bit low, putting yourself out there to try and find love – whatever that means for you,"
