Barry White - Just Another Way To Say I Love You (1975) LP - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Just Another Way to Say I Love You is the self-produced fourth album by American R&B singer Barry White, released in 1975 on the 20th Century label.

The album topped the R&B albums chart, White’s fourth in a row to do so, and peaked at #17 on the Billboard 200.  

The album was a success, yielding two Billboard R&B Top Ten singles, “What Am I Gonna Do with You“, which peaked at #1, and “I’ll Do for You Anything You Want Me To”. 

Both were also successful on the Billboard Hot 100.

The album kicks off with “Heavenly, That’s What You Are To Me,” and despite its great intro, it ultimately pales in comparison to earlier tracks.
On “I’ll Do for You Anything You Want Me To” finds White in ragged voice throughout and the onslaught on his grunts and groans didn’t help him not be a parody of himself.
Just Another Way to Say I Love You seems to cautiously plod along, but White had something innovative planned here.
“Love Serenade” has him throwing all caution to the wind with lines like “I don’t wanna feel no clothes,” followed by the even better, “And take off that brassiere, my dear.”
As for regular ballads, “Let Me Live My Life Lovin’ You Babe” clocks in at a sleep-inducing 10:29. This album closes out with “Love Serenade (Part II),” a bass heavy, libidinous instrumental.
