Inspiration

Liam Howlett first released the songs "One Love" and "One Love" (Jonny L Remix) as two 12" white labels, called "Earthbound 1" and "Earthbound 2" respectively, in response to growing criticism from the music community about the Prodigy having sold themselves out and become purely commercial. Underground DJs apparently praised the white labels as some of the best of the year, but when it was revealed that Howlett had produced the songs, the DJs shunned the songs. ^{[citation needed]} With this act, Howlett had shown that the Prodigy was still capable of making pioneering dance music praised by the underground. This song in particular features rather innovative programming and loop-work in combination with sped-up tribal chants and orchestral strings.

"One Love" was also one of the first Prodigy singles to not receive a US release.

The version that appeared on the Prodigy's second studio album Music for the Jilted Generation was the shorter edit version due to the band having to trim some running time off the album to allow it to fit on the master CD.[2]

Critical reception

Andy Beevers from Music Week gave it four out of five, calling it a "charging percussion-laden and bass-heavy" track.[3] James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update described the original mix as "hardcore star's muezzin punctuated surging frantic 148bpm".[4]

Music video

The accompanying music video for the song was created by Hyperbolic Systems and featured computer generated graphics with occasional images of the band members dancing among tribal figures.

Cover artwork

The ring on the cover is made by 'Stussy' and is solid silver (925).

Soundtrack

In 1995, "One Love" (along with Voodoo People) was included in the soundtrack for the movie Hackers, starring Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie.[5]

[ru] One Love

One Love — 6-й сингл британской группы The Prodigy. Это первый сингл со второго альбома Music For The Jilted Generation. Композиция One Love имеет звучание, абсолютно не похожее на предыдущие композиции Лайама Хоулетта. Лайам понимал, что музыка очень быстро изменялась в данный период, поэтому дорожка One Love продвинула группу на новый уровень. Лайам горел желанием поскорее приступить к созданию нового стиля потому, что он чувствовал, насколько быстро меняется лицо современной музыки.
