Content

According to the album's executive producer David Coverdale, some songs "have been musically embellished where my co-producer Michael McIntyre, my new mixer Christopher Collier and I felt it appropriate or necessary to bring out the best in these songs."[1]

Love Songs includes the previously unreleased songs "With All of My Heart", "Let's Talk It Over" and "Yours for the Asking" which features a music video, all originally recorded for David Coverdale's 2000 solo album Into the Light.[1][3]
