Love You

Love You (also known as The Beach Boys Love You) is the twenty-first studio album by American rock band The Beach Boys, released in April 1977. Very nearly released as a Brian Wilson solo album titled Brian Loves You; the album is almost entirely written and performed by Brian Wilson. Penned during a process of mental and drug rehabilitation for Wilson, Love You has been praised by critics for the album's honest, aggressively unpretentious lyrics, and has been described as a portrait into Brian Wilson's sense of self in 1977. Heavily reliant on 1970s Moog synths, the album has been recognised as an idiosyncratic and creative oddity in the Beach Boys' canon.
