"Love and Anger" is a song written and performed by the British singer Kate Bush. It was the third and final single to be released from her album The Sensual World in 1990, and peaked at no.38 on UK Singles Chart. The song also reached no.1 on the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, Bush's only chart-topper on any U.S. chart.
"Love and Anger" was also Bush's debut single on her new U.S. label, Columbia Records. EMI America allegedly "forgot" to renew her contract, so Columbia picked her up.
The B-sides on the single were "Ken", "One Last Look around the House before We Go" and "The Confrontation", the latter two of which are instrumentals and were only available on the CD release and 12" version of this single. All three songs were written for the episode GLC: The Carnage Continues... of the British TV program The Comic Strip. "Ken" was the theme music for the episode's parody of a Hollywood action movie about British politician Ken Livingstone, whom Bush describes in the song as a 'funky sex machine'.
The video for "Love And Anger" was directed by Bush.
