Dream, Extinguished (2008) And I Love H.E.R.: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2008)

And I Love H.E.R.: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, also referred to as simply And I Love H.E.R., is MC/producer Danny!'s long-awaited follow-up to 2006's critically-acclaimed Charm. It was originally expected to be released on January 22, 2008 (see 2008 in music), but has been postponed for various reasons; Danny announced the album's delay via his MySpace page. Contrary to the album's subtitle, And I Love H.E.R. is not actually a "soundtrack" but rather a concept album chronicling the story of Danny's love affair with hip-hop music.

Originally assumed to be Danny's debut release under new recording home Definitive Jux Records, it appears as if And I Love H.E.R. will, like Danny Is Dead before it, be yet another independent release^[1], making the album Danny's fifth studio album and tenth release under his 1911 Music/Badenov Records imprint. It is unknown why the album will not be a Def Jux release, considering that Danny has not yet released an album through the label nor publicly defected from them. As such, much speculation has risen regarding the release of this album.

Both And I Love H.E.R.'s title and cover art was inspired by the Beatles' 1964 feature film A Hard Day's Night, with "And I Love Her" being one of the signature songs from the film's soundtrack. Other songs, such as "I Want H.E.R. (She's So Heavy)" and "Yoko Ono", also make reference to the Beatles. Meanwhile, the usage of "H.E.R." as an acronym is an allusion to "I Used to Love H.E.R." by fellow rapper Common, the 1994 song which personified hip-hop as a woman and former love interest.

While neither a new official release date nor guest appearances for the album have been formally announced, a promotional poster for And I Love H.E.R. recently surfaced on URB Magazine's website^[2], listing Tanya Morgan's Von Pea, Brooklyn MC Che Grand and Kidz in the Hall's Naledge as the "film"'s "co-stars".
