Is That Love

Men United: "Is That Love" (East West)

Q. How do you recognise the Dublin half of a ravey pop duo?

A. He's the one that sings "Is dat love?"

Men United, ferociously witty name or not, fail to grab you by the throat or anywhere else with the radio edit of this, but the 'Men United, Standard Liege O" mix is highly engaging, with fewer words, a much harder beat and a sprightly, synthetic violin loop. It grooves along nicely and it's very easy to lose yourself in it until yer man decides "If it ain't broke, break it" and wades in with his "Is dat love"s, and you find yourself, P.D.Q.
