"Inside Love" is a song by the British AOR band Seven, released in 1990 as their debut single. [1] It was written by Keith McFarlane and Simon LeFevre, and produced by John Parr. "Inside Love" reached No. 78 in the UK, and remained in the Top 100 for four weeks. [2]

Contents

Seven had secured a contract with Polydor in 1989. They produced two singles from the label; "Inside Love" and "Man With a Vision". Both were produced by Parr. [3] A promotional video was filmed to promote the single. [4]

"Inside Love" was released by Polydor in the UK only on 7" vinyl, 12" vinyl and CD. The B-side, "Till Then", was also written by Macfarlane and Lefevre, and produced by Tim Lewis and Mike Parker. [5] The 12" vinyl and CD formats of the single also featured an extended version of "Inside Love". [6] [7]

The lack of success of "Inside Love" and "Man With a Vision" led to the band being dropped by Polydor and subsequently splitting. Later in 2014, the original line-up of Seven reunited and released their self-titled debut album that year through Escape Music. Seven included a re-recorded version of "Inside Love". [8]

Critical reception

For one UK magazine, Phillip Schofield described the track as a "moody ballad that wiggles its way inside your brain forever after a couple of plays." [9] Cover Boys magazine stated: "If you're familiar with the sounds of American bands like Journey and Foreigner, then you'll understand a little of how Seven sound." [10]
