"Never Too Much" is a 1981 song by the American singer-songwriter Luther Vandross. It was released as the lead single from his debut album of the same name. The song's lyrics revolve around a man expressing his love and devotion to his significant other, declaring that he can never get enough of her.

The track opens with a series of energetic, syncopated piano chords that set the upbeat tone of the song. Vandross then launches into the first verse, singing in his signature smooth, soulful style. He declares that he has searched the world over but has never found someone as wonderful as his lover. He then repeats the song's title in the chorus, emphasizing that his love for her knows no bounds.

Throughout the song, Vandross continues to express his adoration for his significant other, stating that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. He also acknowledges that their relationship may not always be easy, but he is willing to work through any obstacles that come their way.

The instrumentation of "Never Too Much" is lively and upbeat, featuring a mix of funk, disco, and soul elements. The use of horns, bass, and percussion creates a danceable groove that perfectly complements Vandross's vocals.

The song was a commercial success, reaching the top ten on the Billboard R&B chart and peaking at number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also helped establish Vandross as a solo artist after years of working as a backup singer and session musician.

"Never Too Much" remains a beloved classic in the R&B and soul genres, with its catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics resonating with listeners to this day. Its message of unbridled love and devotion continues to inspire couples around the world, making it a timeless anthem for romance and commitment.

AMERICAN BOLLYWOOD
— EPISODE FIVE

That Love Podcast presents: American Bollywood — Episode 5

Format/Genre: A hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-age audio rom-com about first love, fake dating, friendship, secret crushes and discovering that sometimes the people who truly see you have been watching all along.

Logline: With only hours to find a fake boyfriend for her double date with Miles Pires Shah, Izzy Lopez turns to Selina for help — and what begins as a ridiculous school-wide search unexpectedly reveals just how many people have been quietly noticing Izzy for years.

Izzy Lopez has created a boyfriend who does not exist, Miles Pires Shah expects to meet him that evening, and Selina has decided there is only one reasonable solution: find a real boy willing to play the part. Her search leads to Mason Ramos and Jake Geller, two book-loving classmates who reveal that they have both secretly liked Izzy for years and are remarkably enthusiastic about competing for the position.

Selina transforms an empty classroom into a bizarre game show where Mason and Jake must prove who knows Izzy best. What begins as a ridiculous competition quickly becomes increasingly unsettling as both boys demonstrate an astonishing knowledge of Izzy’s favourite books, movies, habits and embarrassing secrets — leaving Izzy to discover that she may not have been nearly as invisible as she always believed.

The questions become more personal until Selina asks something neither boy can answer with simple facts: what has Izzy wanted to feel more than anything since she was fourteen? Mason’s answer cuts through Izzy’s jokes and books and gets frighteningly close to the truth — she wants to know that she is enough exactly as she is, without having to perform or transform herself for somebody else.

With the double date getting closer and Miles waiting to meet a boyfriend who was invented less than a day earlier, Izzy finally has someone willing to step into the role. But the line between pretending and genuinely caring may already be much messier than she expected, especially when her chosen fake boyfriend has feelings that are anything but fake.

American Bollywood Episode 5 delivers romantic comedy, fake-dating chaos and surprising emotional depth as Izzy’s plan to make Miles finally see her raises an uncomfortable new question: what happens when someone else already does?

Starring Berr Kell and Emerson Peery
