"Love and Anger" is the third and final release from "The Sensual World" by Kate Bush.

"Love and Anger" was released on February 26 1990 and made it to the number 38 in the UK Singles Chart. However "Love and Anger" was a lot more successful in the USA reaching number one on "Billboard's" Modern Rock Tracks chart, Bush's only chart-topper on any U.S. chart.

"Love and Anger" was also Bush's debut single on her new U.S. label, Columbia Records (EMI America allegedly "forgot" to renew her contract, so Columbia picked her up).

The song speaks about the end of a worn-out relationship, and beginning a new chapter in life.

The B-sides on this single were "Ken", "One Last Look Around the House Before We Go" and "The Confrontation". "One Last Look Around the House Before We Go" and "The Confrontation" are instrumentals and were only available on the CD release and 12" version of this single. All three of them were written for the episode "" of the British TV program "The Comic Strip". "Ken" features Kate describing Ken Livingstone (leader of the Greater London Council before Mrs Thatcher disbanded it) as a 'funky sex machine'.
