reaching number 28. The album was also played on over 130 college radio stations at the end of last year throughout the USA including WGTB in Washington DC, WNSU in Ft Lauderdale, WIIT in Chicago, WECB in Boston, KLSU in St. Louis, WXIN in Providence, RI and WPPJ in Pittsburgh. Stuart Mason of Aberdeen Student Radio in the UK describes Love as a "highly unique individual with a unique take on music and the world. With track titles such as “Spill The Milky Way”, “Lightning Lady”, “Mental Revolution” and “Unite+Funk”, you realize that this is a special guy making special music. And when you delve that bit deeper and look at some of his lyrics, you can really see that this is a man who marches to his own funky, sexy beat." And he hails Love's debut album Forever as a "totally unique and utterly brilliant release, mixing the spirituality of India

with the sunshine of California, a musical tour de force that melds funk, soul, rock, hip hop and others into a groundbreaking record that will stay with you long after youʼve turned it off. One of the albums of the year. Amazing." He further states that "the masterpiece of the album however is the stunning, breathtakingly awesome ʻBeethoven Burstʼ. It is quite simply amazing. Thereʼs no other word to describe this beautiful, sexy, funking tune. You just have to give it a listen or better yet head over to Youtube and check out the stupendous video, created and directed by Ankit Love himself." Andy Gesner top music video promoter explains that 'Beethoven Burst' "finds Love cast as an interplanetary space commander in search for the cosmic holy grail, with a crew of hot (and barely clothed) bombshells at the controls. The video mixes ideas of faith, imagination, love, Star Trek, and The Sistine Chapel all into one Hollywood movie-like production that anyone with a pair of eyes and ears will definitely not want to miss." He states "after witnessing this bizarre, yet completely awe-inspiring spectacle, we are certain that Love could be our generationʼs Ziggy Stardust." Love is now working on his next music video and in February 2012 he released a special on-line cover single of the popular Indian track "Why this Kolaveri Di." His version of the song has been shared by several celebrities on Twitter including three Bollywood film stars.
