"Is It True" is a 2020 single by Australian psychedelic project Tame Impala and the sixth and final single released in promotion of their fourth studio album, The Slow Rush. While it was initially released on February 14, 2020, as the ninth track on the album, a standalone single was released on August 7, 2020.
The song was remixed by Four Tet for the deluxe edition of the album called The Slow Rush – B-Sides and Remixes.[4] A visualizer would be made for the remix in a similar style to the lyric video.[5]
The song peaked at number 15 on the US Rock Airplay chart[6] and number 10 on US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart in Billboard magazine.[7]
Tame Impala performed the song live on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert during COVID lockdown, where on the video of the performance he "cloned himself".[8][9]
Composition
The song has been described as a disco track[1] and a boogie track.[3] The song has also been noted for being one of the more fun and happy tracks on the record[10] featuring progressive and Vegas Strip-esk synthesizer work.[1][11] The song has also been described as being a Pharrell Williams-like track.[12]
Lyric video
The lyric video was released on August 6, 2020[13] and features Kevin Parker singing the track over trippy & psychedelic visuals.[14] The music video has been described as being reminiscent of Tame Impala's live shows as it also features visuals used in previous live shows.[13][14] The music video also looks like it is being played on VHS[14] tape with an "old-school TV Screen".[15] The lyrics appear on the video in all white hue at the bottom of the screen.[16]
