Love is

[Intro | soft intimate female breathy lead, Tamia-style silky tone, sparse production, warm plate reverb, center pan, distant heartbeat pulse + gentle Rhodes chords]

[Verse 1 | male lead Eric Benét-style warm velvety tenor, intimate close-mic delivery, light groove enters with heartbeat bass + finger snaps, 3-stack lead doubles, subtle brushed drums]

[Pre-Chorus | both voices layering, rising melody tension, H1 high female soprano float + H2 mid tenor/alto blend, building string pad swell, tighter harmonies]

[Chorus | full duet explosion, Eric Benét & Tamia leads trading lines + stacked harmonies (H1 soprano + H2 mid), lush string swells, soaring melisma on “real” and “spark”, background ad-libs “tingling… butterflies… can’t get you out my head”, wide stereo]

[Pre-Chorus | both voices, tighter and more intense harmonies, rising energy, fuller string layers]

[Chorus | even bigger passionate vocal interplay, fuller 5-part harmony stacks, stronger drum pocket, ad-libs more prominent]

[Bridge | stripped production to piano + pulsing kick only, raw emotional delivery, protective intensity builds, male lead gets gritty and passionate with ad-libs]

[Modulation | whole-step key change to C major, cinematic string swell + instrumental lift, both leads trading short passionate runs and “oohs/ahhs”, building tension and excitement]

[Instrumental swell with vocal layering]

[Final Chorus | full SATB choir layers + duet leads, massive emotional climax, ad-libs flying freely, Tamia-style soaring high notes, Eric Benét gritty passionate runs, maximum lush production]

[Tamia soaring melisma/run on “You”, Eric Benét ad-libs overlapping]

[Outro | slow fade with layered ad-libs & smooth harmonies over repeating piano riff + heartbeat pulse, breathy echoes, reverb tail lengthening]
