"My Love" is a song by British singer Kele Le Roc. It was released on 15 March 1999 as the second single from her debut album, Everybody's Somebody. Like her previous single "Little Bit of Lovin'", the song peaked at No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart, and it also peaked at No. 48 in New Zealand in January 2001. In 1999, the song won a MOBO Award for Best Single. Several remixes of the song became underground hits in the UK.

Remixes

[edit]

Two garage remixes by 10º Below were underground hits in the UK garage scene in 1999: the 10º Below Vocal Mix and 10º Below Dub Mix. In 2008, a new set of remixes was released on Ice Cream Records titled "My Love (So Good)", featuring mixes by 10º Below, J-Sweet, and X-Men. The Paul Masterson remix was a hit on the London club scene in the early 2000s.

In 2018, the House & Garage Orchestra together with Le Roc recorded an orchestral version of the 10° Below Vocal Mix for the UK garage covers album Garage Classics.
