It is the title track and first single from his second album, Fight for Love. The song was released for streaming to AOL Music on February 13, 2009[1] and for adds at Top 40 (CHR) and Rhythmic radio on March 10, 2009.[2] It also became available for download at digital music outlets on March 10[3] in two versions - with or without piano introduction. Song informationYamin describes the song:[1]
VideoThe video for "Fight for Love" premiered on AOL Music on May 1, 2009. AOL Music’s PopEater blog describes it as “what might be the world's coolest scavenger hunt”.[4] The video intercuts scenes of Yamin singing as he descends an ornate staircase with scenes of a young woman receiving a series of cards that lead her to an encounter with a magician (Farrell Dillon[5]) and a breakdancer (one of the members of SuperCr3w) and concludes at the Los Angeles Theater. The theater marquee displays “Fight for Love”. Alone in the theater auditorium, the woman reads the last of the cards and turns to find Yamin and his band onstage performing for her. She smiles in joyful recognition and the contents of the cards are revealed to the viewer in flashbacks: each card contains romantic lyrics from the song. The video was directed by Nick Spanos,[6] who also directed the video for Yamin's hit "Wait for You". ReceptionThe song received a positive review from Alex Vitoulis of Billboard:[7] {{cquote|"I'm ecstatic, I feel the magic," are the opening lines that encapsulate the spirit of the lead single from the season-five "American Idol" finalist's second album. Co-written by R&B hitmaker Johnta Austin (Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey) and Theodore Thomas, Yamin's soulful delivery demonstrates that he is no one-hit wonder. Soaring over a laid-back, smooth R&B beat, his vocals capture the essence of being in love. This gem is already resonating with listeners at top 40 and should have no problem snugly settling in at AC. R&B radio should also take notice: This is a guy who held his own duetting with Blige on "Idol," and he shows those chops here.}}Charts
