Advantages: Beautiful vocals and lyrics Disadvantages: None to mention
A stunning song, his lyrics really did tug at my heart strings. His vocals and lyrics blew me away the first time i heard this track. IT tends to help us go back into the past and remember the relationships we had, the feelings and emotions we shared. In most cases, i am sure that this song will draw out a few tears, such is the power of the words of this song. With all this in mind, the value for money on this CD is great and to be a part of LutherVandross' magic for such a small price, I think that is amazing. LutherVandross is blessed with talent and ability and he demonstrates this in his vocals on this track. I would definitely recommend this to anybody who is into any kind of music as I am sure his vocals will affect you and the way you live your life. ...

IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER 4:07
The album kicks off with this mellow track concerning love with a third party. It is a great start and you will have the chorus in your head for weeks.
THINK ABOUT YOU 5:04
Another classy, mellow groove with winning vocals from Vandross. Turn the lights down low, put the champagne on ice and press play on this track for a truly relaxing experience.

The title track from YOUR SECRET LOVE won a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. It was also nominated for Best R&B Song. An album for lovers, plain and simple. Lovers of others, lovers of smooth, soulful music, and, most of all, lovers of Luther Vandross' singular vocal talent. There's nothing really new here, and that's probably the way it should be--why mess with success? The arrangements are tasteful, spare and elegant. The songs--all ballads, most of them in the mold of the clean, airy, atmospheric funk Luther has specialized in through the years--are about the love emotion, and all the emotional entanglements it brings out. "Love Don't Love You Anymore" is a haunting number, replete with treated, bells-in-heaven background vocals, and this warning: "See, love is a society, any fool cannot belong." Yes, this is Luther's universe, no doubt. And check this, Stevie fans: Luther covers a song that could have been written just for him, the exquisite "Knocks Me Off My Feet." Put an extra log on the fire, or light a few candles, lay down, throw Luther on the box and well, you know the rest.
