"Inside Love" is the debut single of UK AOR band Seven.

Contents

By 1989, the band had managed to secure a contract with Polydor Records and for their first single, musician John Parr was hired to produce the song. The song was written by lead guitarist Keith Macfarlane and keyboardist Simon Lefevre.

The single didn't gain the commercial success that the band had hoped, only peaking at #78 in the UK, and remaining in the Top 100 for four weeks.

A promotional video was created for the single, surfacing on YouTube in recent years.

The b-side for the single was titled "Till Then" which was again written by Macfarlane and Lefevre, produced by Tim Lewis and Mike Parker.

On the majority of formats for the single, an extended version of Inside Love was available.

The band would release one more single "Man With a Vision" in 1990 before splitting.

Critical reception

For one UK magazine, Phillip Schofield described the track, "Inside Love is a moody ballad that wiggles its way inside your brain forever after a couple of plays."

In a 1990 issue of the Cover Boys magazine, the song was described, "If you're familiar with the sounds of American bands like Journey and Foreigner, then you'll understand a little of how Seven sound."
