"'Love U More'" is a song by British techno group Sunscreem, released as a single in July 1992. It was written by band members Paul Carnell and lead singer Lucia Holm. The single is a track off the group's 1993 album 'O3' and was one of the first techno songs to make the American top 40, where it peaked at No. 36. "Love U More" reached No. 23 in the United Kingdom in July 1992 and went to number one on the American dance chart for two weeks in March 1993, making it their first of three number-one hits there.
Critical reception
Steven McDonald of AllMusic picked the song as one of the "highlights" of the 'O3' album. Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "Quintet has been on the lips of club folks in-the-know for nearly a year now via a pair of invigorating import singles. This cut has already stormed to the top of dance charts worldwide, and is poised for similar success here. A variety of remixes engage in techno, trance, and house attitudesall the while focusing on the considerable (and unusual) vocal charm of Lucia Holm." Dave Sholin from the 'Gavin Report' commented, "High energy meets an appealing array of musical styles with the result being a totally fresh production coming off a #1 run in the U.K." A reviewer from 'Music & Media' wrote, "Early '80s electro pop a la Human League comes alive in a new dance jacket. Sequencers follow the rhythms of today's demands, while the melody lingers on."
