I Love You is the debut album by Philadelphia-based rapper and singer Amanda Blank. The album was released on August 4, 2009, through Downtown Records.
Critical reception
I Love You received mixed reviews from music critics, earning a rating of 59 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 17 reviews. Billboard described the album as "guiltless fun, just like any proper quickie." The Observer said "amid the sighs and groans, she [Blank] hits the pop G-spot with her savvy hooks and superlative rhyming." URB magazine noted that "whether it's the heart, soul or ovaries that are dictating the desires on I Love You's songs, always lurking under Amanda Blank's flow are Diplo's exotically growling beats, which remain sweaty, fast-paced and aggressive [...] her heartfelt lyrics makes [...] some of the most unexpectedly personable material to come out of Diplo's party-centric clique."
Commercial performance
In its first week, I Love You sold 4,000 units in the United States. As of February 2022, the album had sold a total of 29,000 copies in the US, according to Billboard.
