You Don't Love Me Anymore

You Don’t Love Me Anymore is a track by Indian violinist and composer L. Shankar. The piece appears as the fourth track on his 1986 studio album The Epidemics. Released on 12\" vinyl by ECM Records GmbH, the album blends elements of Indian classical music with contemporary jazz and experimental fusion. The track runs for 3 minutes and 38 seconds.

The composition reflects Shankar’s signature use of the double violin, a custom ten-string instrument he developed to expand harmonic and textural possibilities. While specific recording details for the track remain undocumented, the album as a whole features Shankar’s collaborations with session musicians, though individual contributors to this track are not explicitly credited in available sources. The production aligns with ECM’s characteristic emphasis on spacious, atmospheric soundscapes.

The Epidemics marked one of Shankar’s several releases under ECM, a label known for its work with avant-garde and world music artists. The album’s reception focused on its cross-genre experimentation, though critical or commercial performance data for the track or release is not widely archived. The vinyl format of the original pressing included no additional liner notes detailing the composition’s inspiration or recording process.

Shankar’s career spanned collaborations with artists such as Peter Gabriel, Frank Zappa, and Philip Glass, but The Epidemics stands as a solo project under his own name. The track You Don’t Love Me Anymore exemplifies his approach to merging traditional Indian raga structures with Western harmonic progressions, a style he refined throughout the 1980s. No live performances or alternate versions of the track are documented in public records.
