The Lover in Me

About The Lover in Me

The Lover in Me is the ninth studio album by Scottish singer Sheena Easton. It was released in November 1988 and was her debut for MCA. The album has a more Urban/R&B sound than Easton's previous recordings due to the production by well-known acts such as L. A. Reid, Babyface and John "Jellybean" Benitez. The album's title track became a major hit, reaching #2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #15 on the UK Singles Chart. The album reached #44 on the US Billboard 200 and #30 in the UK Albums Chart, and was certified Gold by the RIAA. It is one of Easton's best selling albums to date and returned her to the US and UK charts. Significantly, in the UK it was her first charting album for over five years, with the lead single becoming her first top 20 hit in nearly eight years. In 2006, Cherry Red Records (UK) re-released The Lover in Me, remastered and with added bonus tracks. On May 27, 2016 the album was officially released in the US for digital download on iTunes. more »
