One World One Love es un álbum de Michael Bolton, publicado en 2009 por Universal Motown. El disco incluye 12 canciones, entre ellas «Ready for You», «Just One Love», «Need You to Fall» y «Hope It's Too Late».
Sobre el álbum
Con One World One Love, lanzado en 2009, Michael Bolton realizó uno de sus mayores esfuerzos por reinventarse y conectar con la escena pop del momento. Para este proyecto, se rodeó de un equipo de productores y artistas de primera línea, incluyendo a Lady Gaga (antes de su explosión a la fama) y Ne-Yo.
El resultado es su álbum más moderno y bailable hasta la fecha. Canciones como "Just One Love" o "Ready For You" incorporan ritmos de R&B contemporáneo, sintetizadores y estructuras pop muy actuales. El disco se aleja considerablemente de su sonido clásico de balada, mostrando una faceta más optimista y rítmica.
Pese a este cambio de sonido, la voz de Michael Bolton sigue siendo el ancla inconfundible. Es interesante escucharlo desenvolverse sobre bases electrónicas, demostrando que su poderosa voz puede adaptarse a casi cualquier contexto. El dueto con Lady Gaga en "Murder My Heart" es un claro ejemplo de esta exitosa fusión.
"One World One Love" es un álbum valiente y sorprendentemente fresco. Aunque quizás desconcertó a algunos de sus seguidores más tradicionales, es una prueba de la voluntad de Michael Bolton de seguir siendo relevante, de experimentar y, sobre todo, de divertirse con la música.

Letra
So much killing Too much anger inside So much living Not enough people living right Too much hatred Too much emptiness I've got too much in me To go without a fight Tonight All we need is (one love) That's all that we need 'Cause I know (one love) Has given to me There's so much We can learn from each other If we just find that one love. Too much heartbreak Too much drowning inside Feels like an earthquake Every time that you step outside Too much crying Too much ugliness We've got to come together It's time for you and I So much talking So much locked up inside We should be listening Why do we build these walls so high? There's no escaping Everyone's working to survive We can win this thing together if we try Tonight All we need is (one love) That's all that we need 'Cause I know (one love) Has given to me There's so much We can learn from each other If we just find that one love. Let's find a minute to breathe Before we run out of air Holding on, falling down This world is falling apart One love is all we need That's what we need is (one love) That's all that we need 'Cause I know (one love) Has given to me There's so much We can learn from each other If we just find that one love. All we need is (one love) That's all that we need 'Cause I know (one love) Has given to me There's so much We can learn from each other If we just find that one love If we just find that one love All we need (One love, that's all that we need) All we need (One love, that's all that we need) One love, one love, one love, one love One love, one love, one love, one love - Need You to Fall3:40
Letra
There you set inside your fortress that you fixed to keep the rapids out Atop the walls of tamed emotions looking down At the fools who tried to come alive through someone's eyes And hoped they'd be alright. And somehow something is bound for nothing, so why even waste your time? Just be still and let the beauty pass you by, A disguise for pain and tears and rain And nights you feel you'll never sleep again. I need you to fall, take a step in the dark And I'll catch you, if you reach out to me I'll come get you, but I can't hold what you won't let go; So I need you to fall. I'd never lie to you, there may be times we barely make it through the day, But I'll pull you close so us won't slip away And I never break the heart I take; I love you 'till our feels can't breathe at all. I need you to fall, take a step in the dark And I'll catch you, if you reach out to me I'll come get you, but I can't hold what you won't let go; So I need you to fall. Into my arms, I, won't let you down now Just want to believe in something that true Strengths and surrender, you'll never find someone Who loves you like I do. So take a step in the dark And I'll catch you, if you reach out for me I'll come get you, but I can't hold of you if you don't let go; So I need you to fall. Take a step in the dark And I'll catch you, if you reach out to me I'll come get you, but I can't hold what you won't let go; So I need you to fall, I need you to fall I want you to fall... 'Cause I can't hold you if you don't let go - Hope It's Too Late3:08

Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my baby Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my lady Time I'm sure will bring Disappointments in so many things It seems to be the way When your gambling cards on love you play I'd rather be in Hell with you baby Than in cool Heaven It seems to be the way Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my baby Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my lady Birds never look into the sun Before the day is gone But oh the light shines brighter On a peaceful day Stranger blue leave us alone We don't want to deal with you We'll shed our stains showering In the room that makes the rain All alone with you Makes the butterflies in me arise Slowly we make love And the Earth rotates To our dictates Slowly we make love Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my baby Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my lady - Invisible Tattoo4:03
Letra
There’s a delicate rose, in bloom; There's a heart with an arrow, rolling through There's a lasting impression of you all over me; There's an angel of mercy on, high There's an eagle with wings to fly There's a tangible memory of you and I all over me. There's an invisible tattoo, invisible There's an invisible tattoo, a lasting impression of you all over me. There's a love letter left behind; There's a promise that lingers over time The indelible desire you quietly drew all over me. There's an invisible tattoo, invisible There's an invisible tattoo, a lasting impression of you all over me. And when I close my eyes, all the colours arise Luminous again, vivid on my skin. There's an invisible tattoo, invisible There's an invisible tattoo, a lasting impression of you all over me. There's an invisible tattoo, invisible There's an invisible tattoo, all over me. There's an invisible tattoo, invisible There's an invisible tattoo, all over me. There's an invisible tattoo, invisible There's an invisible tattoo, all over me - Survivor3:55
Letra
(You're a survivor, you're a survivor, survivor, survivor) You can't believe that your whole worlds shattered You used to have it all under control It's like you've lost everything that mattered And you're afraid to fall You've been though it all too many times And though I know your pain Without it there's no way So the say Yeah oh You're lying in the rain Letting it fall across your face Just to feel alive [Chorus] So let's hear it for the ones Who know what it feels like To survive a broken heart Put one hand up in the sky Tonight If you know what it feels like To survive a broken heart Survivor of a broken heart (You're a survivor, you're a survivor, survivor, survivor) Survivor of a broken heart (You're a survivor, you're a survivor, survivor, survivor) You're searching through all the thought's you've gathered And it feels impossible To make it through another day Where do you turn when your faiths been scattered And nothing is logical You've been through it all too many times And you can feel your pain But you can't win before you lose So they say Yeah oh You search for who's to blame When you let go you find the truth Is just to feel alive [Chorus] A thousand pieces on the ground How do you put them back together once again And when your world comes crashing down That's when you rise and find your way up That's when you find out what you're made of [Chorus] Survivor of a broken heart (You're a survivor, you're a survivor, survivor, survivor) Survivor of a broken heart (You're a survivor, you're a survivor, survivor, survivor) - Crazy Love2:48
Letra
I can hear her heart beat from a thousand miles, And the heavens's open every time she smile And when I come to her,that's where I belong Yet, I'm running to her like a river's song. She give me love, love, love, love crazy love, She give me love, love, love, love crazy love. And I need her in the day time I need her, I need her And I need her in the night I need her, I need her I want to throw my arms around her Kiss and hold her,kiss and hold her tight. And when I'm returning from so far away, She give me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day, And it makes me righteous and it makes me feel whole, And it makes me mellow down in my soul. She give me love,love,love,love crazy love, She give me love,love,love,love crazy love. She take away my trouble,take away my grief, Take away my heartache,in the night like a thief.
