To Love You is the debut studio album released by Australian indie pop group Glades. The album was released through Warner Music Australia on 2 November 2018.

The album's release was announced in early October 2018, alongside an Australian tour. In a statement, the band said "To Love You explores the idea that there's more to love than pure romance. Not only romantic love; it explores different forms of love, such as loving the people around you, loving those who can't express that they need love, as well as loving yourself."[1]

The AU Review[3]

Emily Blackburn from The Music game the album 4 out of 5 saying "To Love You is openly authentic and raw at its core, delivering the ups and downs of whirlwind loves with tracks you can’t help but dance along too.".[2] Holly Leszczynski from The AU Review said "With a brilliant combination of upbeat, danceable electronic tracks and passionate, pop ballads, the album is one which will find itself permanently embedded in your summer playlist.".[3] Apple Music reviewed the album saying "On their sentimental debut, Sydney trio Glades trace the good, bad, and ugly of relationships and discover a universal truth: There's always a place for synth-pop power ballads, especially if you've been wronged." adding "Glades make glass-half-full love songs that you can sing, dance, and cry to all at once."[4] Lauren from Sounds of Oz described the album as a "perfect pop for the new millennium, with a fresh sound anchored by real heart."[5]
