Following on from Rabbit Hole (Love Is What You Make It) and Romantic Logic, Panama-native and Texas-based musician Billy Vena is back with a new release. Body Is Love marks the start of a new series of releases, whilst leveraging the timeless retro-influenced pop Vena has become known for.
Even though it retains the general Prince-esque vibes of Vena’s previous work, Body Is Love is nonetheless slung lower than previous work, and looser in feel. It basks in the sunny glow of 90s R&B, with guitars, chunky bass and snappy drums evoke the liberal aesthetic of early TLC and En Vogue.
Describing the song, Billy Vena talks about the inspirational form the people around him take:
“I was inspired to write Body Is Love to sort of express how beautiful the people in my life are, and how much I wanted them to see themselves as such. In the simplest of forms, it’s me saying, I want you to love you, like I love you.”
