A Grand Love Story is a 1997 studio album by Kid Loco , originally released through Yellow Productions .
M. Tye Comer of CMJ New Music Report said, "When Kid Loco's A Grande Love Story was released in his homeland of France, the excitement caused by the producer's cinematic, downtempo trip-pop caused swells even on U.S. shores."[ 2] John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, describing it as "an irresistible romp through the lighthearted, pastoral side of trip-hop by way of orchestral pop paragons like Bacharach , Gainsbourg , and Love ."[ 1]
NME listed it as the 35th best album of 1998.[ 3]
"She's My Lover" peaked at number 85 on the UK Singles Chart ,[ 4] while "Love Me Sweet" peaked at number 98.[ 4]
