The Island is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was completed for Columbia Records in 1989 but not released in its entirety by parent corporation Sony Music Entertainment until December 8, 2017,[1] when it was included in the Mathis box set The Voice of Romance: The Columbia Original Album Collection. The liner notes for the box set indicate that all of the songs for this album were recorded on August 18, 1989.[2]
In his review of the album, Joe Marchese of The Second Disc opined, "Whether expressing yearning on 'Wanting More' or wistful optimism on 'We Can Try Love Again,' the beautiful music of Brazil inspired some of Johnny’s sweetest vocals of the decade."[3]
