Evelyn "Champagne" King - I'm In Love (1981) [2011, Remastered & Expanded Edition]

"I'm in Love" is the 4th album released by R&B singer Evelyn "Champagne" King on RCA Records in 1981. It was produced by Morrie Brown, Willie Lester, Rodney Brown, Kashif, and Lawrence Jones. By the time her previous album "Call on Me" was released, disco music in the United States faced severe backlash across the country pressuring it to move underground. The now infamous so-called "death of disco" propelled artists to look elsewhere for inspiration, one of which was the way of "one-man bands" pioneered by Stevie Wonder. King was one of the previous successful disco artists who followed the new direction in music. The album peaked at #6 on the R&B albums chart. It also reached #28 on the Billboard 200. It produced the hit singles "I'm In Love", "If You Want My Lovin'", "Don't Hide Our Love", and "Spirit of the Dancer". The album was certified Gold by the RIAA. The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD with 5 bonus tracks in 2011 by Big Break Records.

After working with producer T. Life on her first three albums (1977's Smooth Talk, 1979's Music Box, and 1980's Call on Me), Evelyn "Champagne" King changed producers for her fourth album, I'm in Love - a generally excellent release that found the singer being commercially and creatively revitalized. Half of the songs were produced by Kashif associate Morrie Brown (with Kashif and Lawrence Jones serving as associate producers), while the other half were produced by Willie Lester and Rodney Brown. Either way, I'm in Love is King's most rewarding and commercially successful effort since Smooth Talk, and she is undeniably inspired on gems that range from the funky title song (a major hit that Kashif wrote) and the assertive "If You Want My Lovin'" to the ballads "Don't Hide Our Love" and "The Best Is Yet to Come." An interesting tidbit: with I'm in Love, King temporarily dropped the "Champagne" from her name and simply went by Evelyn King - however, she went back to calling herself Evelyn "Champagne" King with 1983's Face to Face. If you only have a few King albums in your collection, I'm in Love should be among them.
