And I Love H.E.R.: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Danny!

2008

Contrary to the album’s subtitle, And I Love H.E.R. is not actually a “soundtrack” but rather a concept album chronicling the story of Danny’s love affair with hip-hop music. And I Love H.E.R.’s title and cover art was inspired by the Beatles’ 1964 feature film A Hard Day’s Night, with “And I Love Her” being one of the signature songs from the film’s soundtrack.

Other songs, such as I Want H.E.R. (She’s So Heavy) and Yoko Ono, also make reference to the Beatles. Meanwhile, the usage of “H.E.R.” as an acronym is an allusion to I Used to Love H.E.R. by rapper Common, the 1994 song which personified hip-hop as a woman and former love interest.
