Real Love is the second solo studio album by English singer-songwriter and actress Lisa Stansfield, released on 11 November 1991, by Arista Records.

Upon release, Real Love received generally positive reviews from music critics and achieved commercial success.

In 2003, the album was remastered and re-released as limited edition digipak with three bonus songs: "Whenever You're Gone", "Everything Will Get Better" (from the single "All Woman") and "Change" remixed by Frankie Knuckles.

It was expanded to feature rare tracks and 12" mixes plus videos, live footage and a specially recorded interview with Stansfield.

The 2014 reissue of Real Love includes the previously unreleased track "Time to Make You Mine" (Bomb Squad Remix).

The song peaked inside top forty in the European countries, including Italy, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden.

In 2003, "Change", "All Woman", "Time to Make You Mine" and "Set Your Loving Free" were included on Biography: The Greatest Hits.

Alex Henderson from AllMusic wrote that the album contains "definite gems", "including the poignant and heartbreaking ballad 'All Woman,' the spunky 'Soul Deep' and the sleek 'Set Your Loving Free.'"

"[2] Marisa Fox from Entertainment Weekly found that with the album, "Stansfield prove[d] she isn't just another soul crooner with robust vocals and an air of longing.

Stansfield has cut out slogans in favor of meaty personal politics, taking a more clinical look at what triggers her emotions.

"[7] Stephen Holden from Rolling Stone wrote that Stansfield is "one of the first British stars to redo American pop-soul styles of the Seventies.

Shaped with the help of her songwriting and producing collaborators Ian Devaney and Andy Morris, her retro disco crossbreeds the harmonic vocabulary of mid-Seventies Philly soul with the lush, cheesy textures of Barry White and his Love Unlimited Orchestra.

[5] The New York Times wrote that Stansfield brings danceable mid-1970s-style pop to a "pinnacle of musical sophistication and emotional heat.

[3] According to CD Universe, Real Love features a "number of top-notch tunes, most notably the hit singles 'Change' and 'All Woman.'

While the former song plays up the energetic, club-oriented aspect of Stansfield's aesthetic, the latter number is a R&B ballad that reinforces the vocalist's reputation as one of England's finest blue-eyed soul acts.
