World-renowned duo Showtek return to headlines with their latest triumphant release What Is Love. Featuring vocals from Theresa Rex, best known for her work on Martin Jensen s mega-hit Solo Dance , Showtek s production offers an uplifting dance instrumental while Rex s lyrics paint a picture a shade darker. What Is Love is available on all streaming platforms now via Universal Music. What is love without someone to love ya? Theresa Rex s lyrics provide the focal point of Showtek s newest single, exploring themes of unrequited love and relationship struggles. The resonating vocals were created by Canadian singer/songwriter Jessie Reyez. However, the production of What is Love sharply juxtaposes the somber topic. After opening with
What is Love.” Featuring Danish singer
Theresa Rex on vocals, “What is Love” is a fantastic track that hearkens back to 90’s-style house with it’s bright synth notes and pianos. Rex’s vocals perfectly match the early-summer vibes the track evokes. The Janssen brothers explore some new production space while also having a classic Showtek drop.
Despite the bright aesthetic of the track, the vocals are actually somber and lonely. The vocal track was actually written by Jessie Reyez, but, Theresa Rex perfectly conveys the emotion behind the lyrics.

The new
Julia Michaels song starts off as one thing and ends up as something a bit different. Pop songs about relationships tend to be variations on a fairly small number of themes but All Your Exes articulates anxiety over former partners in a really unusual way, and there are some completely excellent lines in the song. When your friends tell stories about 2017 I know there s parts that they leave out to be considerate of me A LINE. (For instance.) (I mean that s an actual thing that happens all the time isn t it, but have you heard it in a song before?) Wish I could be blissfully unaware of where you used to put your mouth and who you write your fucking songs about ANOTHER LINE. Loads of lines. It s literally a song with lots of words in. (A very good song.)
