"For Your Love" is a song written, produced and performed by American musician Stevie Wonder, released in February 1995 by Motown as the first single from his 22nd album, Conversation Peace (1995). It peaked at number 23 on the UK Singles Chart and number 53 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song won two Grammy awards for Best R&B Male Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song at the 38th Grammy Awards. Its music video was directed by Antoine Fuqua.
Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report said, "The master is still at it. One of his best efforts in a long time should do well at Top 40, urban and A/C."[2] The magazine's Fell and Rufer wrote, "This sounds like the beginning of a Wonder-full year as this is just the tip of a musical iceberg called Conversation Peace".[3] Music & Media commented, "All those shameless imitations by more or less talented acid jazz cats only preluded the comeback of the grandmaster himself, now materialised by the kind of soul ballad patented by Wonder."[4] Dele Fadele from NME viewed it as "a standard love song raised slightly above blandness by its intensity, and no relation to the Yardbirds tune."[5] In a separate review, he said it "dripped with a kind of treacly blandness only an expensive air-conditioned studio could provide."[6]
