What About Love - The Color Purple (musical) (Cynthia Erivo & Jennifer Hudson) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Is that me who's floating away / Lifted up to the clouds by a kiss / Never felt nothing like this," emotes Cynthia Erivo in her starring role as Celie from The Color Purple. Written by Allee Willis, Brenda Gordon Russell, and Stephen Bray, the romantic soul ballad "What About Love" offers Celie a chance to explore her attraction for Shug following their first kiss. Shug, too, chimes in to consider how the kiss will shape his long-standing view on relationships: "Is that me I don't recognise / 'Cause the one thing I knew all about / I had it all figured out." Cynthia Erivo won praise for her portrayal of Celie in the London musical revival of The Color Purple—based on Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1985 novel—and later on Broadway, with the production winning two Tony Awards in 2016, including Best Revival of a Musical. "What About Love" is featured on the 2016 soundtrack album The Color Purple (New Broadway Cast Recording).
