"Love" is the second single from Musiq Soulchild's debut album Aijuswanaseing .
Kenny Lattimore revealed in 2021 that "Love" was originally intended for him and his 1998 album From the Soul of Man . However, by the time the song was presented, the album was already completed and Lattimore couldn't envision himself singing it. He ultimately passed on the track, partly because Musiq Soulchild's style was so distinct and unconventional that Lattimore couldn’t quite see how his own voice would fit the song. [1]
It debuted on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart on December 30, 2000, spent 38 weeks on the chart (its last being September 15, 2001), and peaked at #2. "Love" also entered the Billboard Hot 100 on February 17, 2001, spending 22 weeks there, peaking at #24 and falling off on July 7, 2001.
The music video features shots of the since closed Lorraine Hotel in Philadelphia. [2]
The gospel R&B trio Trin-i-tee 5:7 covered this song in 2002 for their album The Kiss , changing the title to "Lord", making it a gospel song.[ citation needed ]
