Keys Told Billboard About This Track’s Sound Source Love Is Blind Songfacts “Some People Say The Piano On It Sounds Like Something From Marvin Gaye Or Bob Marley. We've Been Using A Lot Of Different Keyboard Sounds On This Album. This Particular Song Uses The CP 70 Keyboard. It Looks Just Like A Piano But Has A Different Tone More Of An Electric Sound. The Song Has A Darker Tone To It And The Beats Get Real Heavy. But Then The Vocals Are Very Soulful And Bluesy.”
