With Bobby Glenn’s 1976 ballad ‘Sounds Like A Love Song’ (famously featured in JAY-Z’s ‘Song Cry’) interpolated throughout, ‘Hate Our Love’ – the latest from Queen Naija – acts as a tribute to the greats and a taste of what’s to come.
Featuring fellow Detroit native Big Sean, ‘Hate’ comes as a tale about the challenges of keeping love alive amidst a sea of naysayers.
“They hate our love / Want to see us fall / They want to see us fall / They be hating on us / Wishing we would fall,” Naija croons on the Mike Woods-produced chorus.
Two weeks after premiering the song to thumbs up from her growing legion of fans, ‘Hate’ – which has already cracked the Billboard Hot 100 with a #88 debut on this week’s chart – sees its accompanying, Cam Busby-directed music video unveiled.
