"Get That Love" is a song by the British pop group Thompson Twins, released in 1987 as the lead single from their sixth studio album "Close to the Bone". It was written by Alannah Currie and Tom Bailey, and produced by Rupert Hine and Bailey. The single peaked at No. 66 in the UK and spent four weeks in the Top 100. It fared better in America where it reached No. 31 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100. A music video was filmed to promote the single. It was directed by Andy Morahan and was produced by  Richard Bell for Vivid Productions. It received medium rotation on MTV. The duo also performed the song on the UK TV talk show "Wogan". Critical reception. On its release, Martin Shaw of "Record Mirror" commented, "A poppy, fonky piece of black slate, summed up by its ponderous brass constructed interlude. Like the Durannies, the Thompson Twins take a ride on the back of the dance explosion and water it down to a whimper." Len Brown of "New Musical Express" noted, "Here the Twins return to their comparatively more appealing 'Love On Your Side'/'In the Name of Love' tempo. It's  still the same song – described in the press release as a 'distinct departure for them' – and thus certainly a hit." In the United States, "Billboard" described "Get That Love" as a "cheerful pop romp" which "seems to signal a swing back to jumpy spontaneity over hi-tech polish". "Cash Box" picked the single as one of their "feature picks" of March 1987 and described it as a "sparkling pop spectacle", with a "good, solid performance".
