It's Real is the third full-length recording by American R&B singer-songwriter James Ingram.

It was released in May 1989 on Qwest/Warner Bros. Records, and features the smash hit single "I Don't Have the Heart", which peaked at number 1 for 1 week.

It also features a remake of the classic song "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", re-written with different lyrics and entitled "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Man".

Robin Katz, reviewer of British music newspaper Music Week, left mainly favourable overlook on this album, saying that "Ingram presents his usual standard of contemporary sophisticated soul."

He concluded: "Title track could be a smash and will appeal to Bobby Brown boppers while final cut is weepie in Whitney style.
