I Love the Way You Love

Released

Best known for her funky-soul hit ‘Clean Up Woman’ which is included here, Betty Wright’s second album might be her finest. Eleven songs of melancholy ballads, slinky mid-tempo soul and wah wah funk, much of it in a musical sweet spot where highly orchestrated arrangements meet gutsy Southern soul. There’s some dance floor-targetted funk on here along with several string-soaked lost-love heartbreakers. A sophisticated and highly enjoyable take on Southern soul.
