Heart – What About Love? (Extended Version) (US 12″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1985

NEW 2023 Transfer!
NEW Meticulous Audio Restoration!

Originally posted April 25, 2012

“What About Love?” is a song originally recorded by Canadian rock band Toronto in 1982. It was later recorded by American rock band Heart in 1985 and was released as the first single from the band’s self-titled album, Heart. The band’s “comeback” single, it was the first Heart track to reach the top 40 in three years, and their first top 10 hit in five. The song was also their first hit single on their new record label, Capitol Records. Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas, co-lead vocalists of Starship at the time, provide additional background vocals on the song.

The song’s sound marked a considerable change in the musical direction for Heart, moving from the hard rock and folk rock of their earlier work to a more polished, power ballad sound. “What About Love” received extensive airplay on MTV and returned Heart to the top-10 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in five years, peaking at No. 10.
