Unleash the Love
Unleash the Love is the second solo studio album by American singer Mike Love. It was released on November 17, 2017.

Background and production 
Before Unleash the Love, Mike Love had not officially released a solo album since 1981's Looking Back with Love, released 36 years earlier.

Unleash the Love initially had the title of Mike Love Not War, but that got shelved during the recording process. The term Mike Love Not War had previously been used in a variety of contexts, such as being placed on t-shirts and adopted as a title for an extended play by indie pop group Smudge.

Speaking with The Guardian in 2013, Love stated that he'd "stockpiled" a collection of songs for possible release "for decades". However, he'd hesitated due to needing to assemble the proper "team to get my music out". Broadly speaking, Love aimed to have the release remark upon "the hopes and aspirations of those on the planet who like to see more positivity and harmony."
