"Love House" is a song by English singer Samantha Fox from her third studio album, I Wanna Have Some Fun (1988). Rob Bolland and Ferdi Bolland wrote and produced the song. It was released as the first European single from the album in the third quarter of 1988. In the United States, it was released as the album's third and final single in 1989.
Song information
"Love House" was one of the first acid house singles to appear on mainstream charts. In 2009, reflecting on the rave era, Fox stated, "Of course, I experienced the acid house scene. It actually happened in London at the end of the 80's and acid house parties were held in disused warehouses that were taken over for one night only."
Among the samples used is a vocable from "Just That Type of Girl" by Madame X and "Yamsaharny" by legendary singer Umm Kulthum. The "Black Pyramid Mix" was produced by electronic music producer Kevin Saunderson.
Reception
Upon the single release Jerry Smith of British magazine Music Week found that "Acid House has well and truly gone overground" here and single already "picked up by aficionados for its bandwagon jumping Acid Mixes, where her vocal is at a minimum." The Orlando Sentinel praised the song saying, "Rob and Ferdi Bolland twiddle the knobs to grand effect on 'Love House' and also on 'One in a Million'." The Dallas Morning News, however, dismissed the track as "computerized schlock" and "pseudofunk."
The single peaked at number 32 on the UK Singles Chart. In the United States, it failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100. However, it reached number 14 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart.
Music video
The single's music video was avant-garde in concept, with Fox shown in various outfits including a kimono and a sari. Fox's exuberant performance is contrasted with eerie characters and effects, creating a sense of foreboding.
