"House of Love" is British boy band East 17's first single from its album "Walthamstow", released in August 1992. It became a number-one hit in Sweden and was a top ten hit in many countries.
Background
Initially conceived by former Pet Shop Boys manager Tom Watkins as a tougher version of Take That, East 17 decided that their first single - like Take That's debut - should be an upbeat dance number that would sell to both teenagers and to clubs.
Inspired by current dance groups like the The KLF and Snap!, Tony Mortimer wrote "House of Love" as a mock 'rave' anthem, complete with a 'harmony' rap performed by Brian Harvey. Mortimer sung the main verses with the entire band singing the chorus. The Pedigree mix of the song, complete with a dog barking at the beginning and the end, was released as the single, complete with a low-budget video.
"House of Love" shot to #10 on the chart, establishing East 17 as a premier pop act. It was included on their first album, "Walthamstow", and their 1997 'Greatest Hits' compilation.
