"'I Am Love'" is a song by singer Jennifer Holliday, released as a single in 1983 by Geffen Records from her album 'Feel My Soul'.

The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart.

Overview



"I Am Love" was produced by Maurice White and written by White, David Foster and Allee Willis. The B-side of the single is a song called "Heartstrings".

Critical reception



Stephen Holden of 'The New York Times' called "I Am Love" a "big, bursting ballad..that deliberately recall(s) her Dreamgirls arias" and a "big, swelling tune and lyrics that make a grand pronouncement".

Johnny Loftus of Allmusic proclaimed that "I Am Love" is the real standout. Beginning as a fluttering, austere piano ballad, the song abruptly shifts into high gear, where Holliday's high note trills and enormous chorus vocalizing recall her mind-blowing performance of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls."
