"One Love" is a song recorded by the Sweden based musician and producer Dr Alban. It was the second single from his second studio album One Love. Released in August 1992, the song was a hit in most of the European countries where it was released, reaching the Top 10 in Norway, Austria and Germany; however, this song was not as successful as "It's My Life", the previous single.
Critical reception
Music & Media wrote about the song: "Another hit out of the doctor's private practice is on its way. The "Africana" version will make alternative programmers blush admitting that a popular artist can be innovating as well, but not for Dutch alternative public outlet, VPRO's DJ Lux Janssen. "I play the song, although it might not be 'comme it faut' in our [left of center] surroundings. For me, however, Dr. Alban has the right amount of slickness."[1]
