True to Whitesnake's signature style, "Is This Love"-one of the band's biggest hits and most iconic rock ballads-follows the familiar music video formula.

The unmistakable 80s vibes are strong throughout: smoky air, a dreamlike bluish color palette, intense camera stares from lead singer David Coverdale, and the band decked out in classic mullets and long jackets.

The video alternates between staged performance shots and scenes of Coverdale navigating emotional moments with a woman-portraying a breakup fueled by a stormy relationship. Notably, the woman is Tawny Kitaen, Coverdale's girlfriend at the time and later his wife.

The song itself is one of those tracks nearly everyone has heard at some point, even if they don't immediately associate it with Whitesnake-that's how massive it was back in the day.

The music genre features stories showcasing musical performances, music-related documentaries and recordings of live concerts and music festivals.
