"Big Big Love" is a pop song written by Diane Warren and performed by Belinda Carlisle. It was released on March 17, 2023 as the lead single from Carlisle's extended play Kismet, Carlisle's first new English language studio collection in over 25 years.[1]
Background
Belinda Carlisle and Diane Warren have a long history of working together after first collaborating on Carlisle's 1987 album, Heaven on Earth.
Carlisle announced the release of "Big Big Love' via twitter in October 2022 alongside the quote "I'm making a music video today for the first time in over 25 years."[2]
In early 2023, Carlisle said "27 years on from making my last English language pop record I really wasn't thinking I would ever make one again… and I was quite happy with that idea. Then a chance encounter in a coffee shop led me back to the wonderful Diane Warren and she gave me the incredible gift of this song and the other songs on my upcoming EP."[3] Warren added, "It's so great to be working together again after all these years. From 'I Get Weak' and now to 'Big Big Love', a new chapter has begun. I can't wait for everyone to hear these new hits." [3]
Carlisle performed the song during BBC Radio 2 Piano Room set in February 2023.[4]
Reception
Markos Papadatos from Digital Journal said "Carlisle exudes a great deal of energy and charm in her delivery of 'Big Big Love', where she allows her harking, crystalline to shine. The song stands out lyrically, sonically and vocally. Belinda Carlisle is like fine wine, where she only gets better with time and experience. It will certainly resonate well with her fans and listeners."[1]
Eddie Fu from Consequent of Sound said "With soaring, upbeat production by Mati Gavriel, 'Big Big Love' lives up to its name as Carlisle chases an all-encompassing romance."[3]
Michael Major from Broadway World said "With a great vocal performance, driving synths and an amazing hook, 'Big Big Love' sounds as huge as its title, with all the 'hear it once, love it always' appeal of Belinda's biggest hits."[5]
Radio Creme Brulee gave the song 3.5 out of 5 stars saying "On 'Big Big Love', Belinda eschews the power-pop template of her biggest hits in favor of an up-tempo synth-driven sound with a spring in its step... The songwriting of Diane Warren transcends genre boundaries and works with any sort of treatment and this synth-driven track is yet another reflection of this reality. The duo manages to recreate at least song of the magic of their last creative partnership in the 80s without rehashing it."[6]
