The result is a song that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.<\/p>\n<p>Atom Stone describes the meaning behind his new song: \u201cIsn\u2019t Love is a song that for me is very personal. It\u2019s a compilation of feelings and emotions that have settled in over time from relationships and experiences in my life. It\u2019s one of those circumstances where you can tell someone something for years on end until you\u2019re blue in the face, but for some inherent reason they just don\u2019t hear you, recognize, or even acknowledge as well as even begin to understand your thoughts and feelings\u2026 But put those feelings, thoughts and emotions into a song, and it seems like the impact is profoundly different and understood. You are heard and understood completely. It\u2019s a song essentially about narcissistic abuse and the feelings that one tends to experience and even suppress to some degree when experiencing this type of situation over an elongated period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With Isn\u2019t Love, Atom Stone once again demonstrates his ability to pair memorable melodies with meaningful songwriting, delivering a track that resonates long after the final note.<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t Love is available now on major digital streaming and download platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Atom Stone &#8211; Lead Vocals\/Rhythm Guitar<br \/>\nNick Sturms &#8211; Lead\/Rhythm Guitar\/Keys<br \/>\nJeff Sturms &#8211; Keyboards\/Guitars<br \/>\nConner Kearns &#8211; Guitars<\/p>\n<p>Written By: Atom Stone &amp; Nick Sturms<br \/>\nProduced By: Nick Sturms<br \/>\nEngineered By: Dave Abro<br \/>\nMastered By: Toby Mountain<\/p>\n<p>Publishing Atom Stone: DUFFY AJAX MUSIC \u2013 BMI<br \/>\nPublishing Nick Sturms: Reinvent Entertainment \u2013 Sesac<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsn\u2019t Love\u201d Release Date: June 19, 2026<br \/>\nRecord Label: Melodic Revolution Records<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsn\u2019t Love\u201d is taken from Atom Stone\u2019s upcoming album Bad Decisions, to be released later this year.
