This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

This concept album is a meditation on affairs of the heart that's held together by a series of spoken word segments, such as Patti LaBelle answering the phone, entertaining girlfriends, or just talking to herself. The ubiquitous Diane Warren wrote all the songs and the estimable team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis handles most of the production.

WHEN A WOMAN LOVES continues in the vein of LaBelle's previous album, FLAME, in that it's dominated by power ballads that give LaBelle the opportunity to wail in her patented super-diva style. The recording practically captures the sound of her fluttering, emotional hand movements in numbers like the title tune, "Make Tonight Beautiful," or her barn-burning remake of Taylor Dayne's "Love Will Lead You Back."
