It was released by [Arista Records](/source/Arista_Records) in 1987. The album was digitally remastered in 2012 by Funky Town Grooves and included six bonus tracks. ==Background== The album includes the hit singles "Love Changes" with [Meli'sa Morgan](/source/Meli'sa_Morgan), "Love Me All Over", and "Loving You Only". Vocal trio [Exposé](/source/Expos%C3%A9_(group)) provided most backing vocals; the track "Fifty Ways (To Fall in Love)" featured background vocals performed by [Whitney Houston](/source/Whitney_Houston). The song "Love Changes" was originally sung by R&B group [Mother's Finest](/source/Mother's_Finest) in 1978, and covered again in 2005 by R&B artist [Jamie Foxx](/source/Jamie_Foxx), and hip hop artist [Mary J. Blige](/source/Mary_J._Blige). ==Critical reception== {{Music ratings | rev1 = [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) | rev1Score = {{Rating|2|5}}{{cite web|last1=Wynn|first1=Ron|title=''Love Changes'' (1987): album review|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/love-changes-mw0000193188|publisher=[AllMusic](/source/AllMusic)}} }} Ron Wynn wrote in his retrospective review for [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic): "Kashif went the duet route on this late '80s release, working with both [Dionne Warwick](/source/Dionne_Warwick) and [Meli'sa Morgan](/source/Meli'sa_Morgan) and doing relatively well both times [...] The album was otherwise as slick and overproduced as ever, and his singing went back to the subdued patterns of earlier works." ==Track listing== All tracks produced by Kashif; except "Who's Getting Serious?," produced by [Lewis Martineé](/source/Lewis_Martine%C3%A9) and Kashif. {{Track listing | headline = Side one | extra_column = Producer(s) | title1 = Love Changes | note1 = with [Meli'sa Morgan](/source/Meli'sa_Morgan) | writer1 = [Skip Scarborough](/source/Skip_Scarborough) | length1 = 4:51 | title2 = Loving You Only | writer2 = {{hlist|Kashif|[Doug E.
