Mike Mineo, "What Love Is" [๐Ÿ“ท.: Red 9]Nashville-based pop singer/songwriter Mike Mineo is seeking true, legitimate love on his fantastic, infectious single, โ€œWhat Love Is.โ€

According to pop artist ๐ŸŽ™ Mike Mineo, of his single, ๐ŸŽต โ€œWhat Love Isโ€ captures โ€œthat point when you know itโ€™s over and you want to find true love, but youโ€™re still afraid of letting go.โ€ Ah, those matters of the heart โ€“ they are always perfect fuel for the fire, particularly when it comes to pop songs.ย  Mineo definitely โ€˜brings the heatโ€™ on โ€œWhat Love Is,โ€ which perhaps sounds much catchier enthusiastic than some of the love pain that Mineo, and everyone else in the world experiences at some point in their lives, haha.ย  Safe to say, Mike definitely perks up our ears with this near-four-minute, love-seeking B-O-P.

โ€œWhat Love Isโ€ commences in infectious fashion โ€“ music to my ears, YO! The groove is โ€˜everything,โ€™ with its enthusiastic drums and ripe rhythmic guitar.ย  Safe to say, the Nashville-based, Boca Raton native has a โ€˜litโ€™ backdrop to paint his vocals upon (๐ŸŽ› Reed Berin and ๐ŸŽ› Louis Johnson produce).ย  Speaking of those vocals, theyโ€™re rock solid in their own right โ€“ and in the most โ€˜popโ€™ way possible! Mineo has a fabulous tone and sings with ample personality.ย  The minute you hear him, you buy what heโ€™s selling. He brings a solid blend of playfulness, spirit, and finesse. Further contributing to his elite musicianship are his ๐ŸŽผโœ songwriting skills, which, as stated earlier, perfectly captures that dead-end relationship where you know it must end yet itโ€™s still quite hard to totally ๐ŸŽต โ€œLet It Goโ€ Elsa.


Final Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญย 

Hopefully, Mike Mineo discovers โ€œWhat Love is,โ€ just as he asserts on his fantastic pop single.ย  Honestly, Mike checks off all the boxes of an elite, well-constructed pop songs โ€“ kudos, kudos, kudos.ย  The best attributes of โ€œWhat Love Isโ€: great production, relatable theme and lyrics, and an elite vocal performance by Mineo that showcases his artistry, musicianship, and versatility. Fancy tickled.
