The Real Thing is the acclaimed second studio album from American R&B singer-songwriter Angela Winbush, released in 1989 during the height of her success as both a solo artist and producer. Blending sophisticated soul, contemporary R&B, and polished funk influences, the album showcases Winbush’s powerful vocal abilities alongside her refined songwriting and production talents. Building upon the success of her debut album Sharp, this release features a collection of emotionally rich ballads and groove-oriented tracks that reflect the sleek urban sound of late-1980s R&B. Songs such as “It’s The Real Thing,” “No More Tears,” and “Lay Your Troubles Down” became standout hits, highlighting her ability to combine heartfelt lyricism with memorable melodies and smooth rhythmic arrangements. The duet with Ronald Isley adds additional soul depth to the album, while her interpretation of “I’ve Learned To Respect (The Power Of Love)” demonstrates her strong connection to classic soul traditions. With lush instrumentation, expressive vocals, and polished production throughout, The Real Thing remains one of Angela Winbush’s defining releases and an important example of sophisticated late-1980s contemporary R&B.
