Love is the third studio album by Scottish pop group Aztec Camera, released in November 1987 on Sire.[9] While it was released under the Aztec Camera name, Roddy Frame was the only remaining permanent member of the group and he recorded the album alongside a group of session musicians.[10] Departing from the indie and folk-rock approach of earlier records, Love incorporated R&B influences, seemingly to break the American market. It failed to do so but did achieve commercial success in the UK, reaching No. 10 on the albums chart, following the success of its third single "Somewhere in My Heart", which reached No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart. As a result, it became the band's most commercially successful album.[11]

[es] Love (álbum de Aztec Camera)

Love es el tercer LP de la banda escocesa Aztec Camera. Tras el cambio de dirección de su anterior trabajo, Roddy Frame sustituyó los miembros, más o menos regulares, de la banda por una serie de músicos de estudio norteamericanos junto a dos grandes productores Russ Titelman y Tommy LiPuma. El resultado fue un álbum fríamente recibido por la crítica pero con el éxito "Somewhere In My Heart" en el número 3 de las listas británicas. Sin embargo, en USA, el álbum fue acogido con indiferencia.
