Only Luv' – The Matt Pop Remixes is a remix album by Dutch girl group Luv'. It was released on May 24, 2025, by Concerto Records. The album, initiated by Peter Boonstra[1], contains remixes of Luv's greatest hits and lesser-known songs by producer Matt Pop, using original master tapes provided by Hans van Hemert and Universal Music.
Background and conception
In May 2015, Luv' fan and author Peter Boonstra published The Story of Luv', a photo book containing exclusive images of the group alongside a CD compilation featuring their greatest hits and remixes of Trojan Horse and Life Is On My Side by Dutch remixer-producer Matt Pop. Group members Marga Scheide and José Hoebee endorsed the release, while Patty Brard opposed it.[2] The publication was later banned due to copyright issues involving photographs.
Following the withdrawal of The Story of Luv', Boonstra initiated a new project in response to positive feedback from the earlier Matt Pop remixes. He developed plans for a full-length remix album, again with Matt Pop as the sole remixer. The album was produced using original master tapes from producer Hans van Hemert’s archives, with approval from Scheide and Hoebee.
On March 22, 2025, the website onlyluv.nl was launched, encouraging fans to reserve May 24 for an upcoming mysterious event. On March 29, 2025, the site and associated social media platforms announced the development of a new project: the release of the remix album Only Luv' – The Matt Pop Remixes.
Ahead of the release, two singles and an EP were available on digital platforms: Eeny Meeny Miny Moe (Matt Pop Album Mix), on April 25, 2025, I.M.U.R. (Matt Pop Album Remix), on May 9, 2025, and Eeny Meeny Miny Moe / I.M.U.R. / Si Que Si – The Matt Pop Remixes EP on May 23, 2025.
Release and promotion
The release party for Only Luv' – The Matt Pop Remixes took place at Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum on May 24, 2025, the same day the album was launched.[3]
After its release, several singles were subsequently made available on streaming platforms to capitalize on the momentum of its launch. These included You’re the Greatest Lover (Matt Pop Album Remix), released on June 13, 2025, Don Juanito de Carnaval (Matt Pop Album Remix), released on July 22, 2025, and Trojan Horse (Matt Pop Album Remix) on August 15, 2025.
Moreover, Only Luv' - The Matt pop Remixes was issued on all major digital platforms on June 20, following its initial physical release on CD and vinyl.
