Generations of Love is a song by Jesus Loves You, from the album The Martyr Mantras. It made the UK Singles Chart in two versions; the "Land of Oz Mix"[1] made #80 in 1990 and the "La La Gone Gaga Mix"[3] made #35 in 1991.[4]

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "If the vocals sound familiar, they should—since track is actually the latest from former pop darling Boy George. Brilliantly conceived deep house jam has already set U.K. dancefloors on fire. Similar results can be expected here."[5]

The Gavin Report wrote: "Addressing human injustice with a message of hope and love, Boy George rejuvenates his career thanks to a beautiful melody and a superb singing performance."[6]
