First, I don't want this topic to seem something random. I just don't think Is This Love gets the attention it deserves. I'm not going to lie that I've been obsessed with this song and every time I listen to it I get a good feeling. The funny thing is that I don't know the story behind it. I don't even know from what era it is, although my bets would be the Spice era.

Without a doubt it is one of the best unreleased songs. Melanie C sounds great. She's at her peak, vocally. Right at the beginning, she uses a vocal technique that is perfect for her type of voice - In that specifically part “ And I'll give you something I want a need for”

The melody flows great as well as the guitar in the solo. An interesting fact is the lyrics, which seem to have inspired Let Love Lead The Way later: “ Is it joy, is it pain, sunshine or is it rain”

I love how the song fades at the ending.. “ Know we're together, hold me forever
I'll show you the key to my heart..”

The leaked version is just a demo. Wondering how it would have been if properly produced. And why it wasn't used on any album.

Anyone else loves this song?

Yeah this is a song from the Touch era in 1994/1995, and it was one of the songs given to the girls to record/sing at the time when they were rehearsing (as seen in Raw Spice).

There's a whole list of the demos and from which era:
