Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song
"Don't You Love Me" is a song by British R&B girl group Eternal. It was the second single to be released from their third studio album, Before the Rain (1997). The song deals with child neglect and abuse and features a choir of 20 children.[1] It peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart in March 1997, becoming the group's tenth top-10 entry on the chart, as well as their first top-three hit.
Critical reception
British magazine Music Week rated the song four out of five, writing, "Unusually opening like a second cousin of The Persuaders theme, this breaks into one of Eternal's strongest singles yet. Its powerful, rounder sound hints at a more mature musical direction for the forthcoming new album."[2] Editor Alan Jones described "Don't You Love Me" as "a classy mid-tempo pop/R&B song hanging on a slightly changed but otherwise familiar bassline from the Dennis Edwards hit Don't Look Any Further." He added, "Quite haunting and not even spoilt by a kid's chorus which appears as the record heads for the fade."[3] Ian Hyland from Sunday Mirror commented, "Before Spice Girls, Eternal were the most successful girl group in Britain - but they're not bitter. In fact, as this single shows, Eternal are better. A great taster for their next album, 'Don't You Love Me', this proves that when it comes to R'n'B the girls are up there with En Vogue. A definite hit, there's even a cheesy Charlie's Angels CD cover."[4]
