Overview
Although none of the album's singles charted in Moten's native United States or the United Kingdom where she had a Top 10 hit with "Come In Out of the Rain" the year before, the album did prove successful in Japan, where she scored two smash hits; "Change of Heart", which reached number 1, and "Your Love Is All I Know", which peaked at number 2.
