''Unleash The Love'' is an album by American artist Music/MikeLove. Released in 2017, it is the first album he released 36 years after ''[[Music/LookingBackWithLove First Love]]''.

This album contains various material which was written and recorded during the late seventies (the making of the cancelled album ''Music/FirstLoveMikeLoveAlbum'') before being rerecorded and remixed from 2004 (the making of the cancelled album ''Music/MikeLoveNotWar'') to 2017. After all those years, Mike decided to release the album upon "the hopes and aspirations of those on the planet who like to see more positivity and harmony."

It is a double album from which the first disc contains Mike Love-penned songs and the second one contains [[Music/TheBeachBoys Beach Boys]] covers (co-written by Mike).
