"When You Talk About Love" is a song recorded by American singer and actress Patti LaBelle.

[2] The accompanying music video featured LaBelle playing a teacher giving a "class" about love.

Barry Walters for The Advocate noted, "Remixer Hex Hector saves LaBelle from the usual R&B radio cheese, and the result is Miss Thing's first proper club hit since — whew!

"[3] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "No one serves diva drama quite like Miss Patti.

Producers Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Big Jim Wright have created a track that is intelligent enough to please the artist's mature listeners while kicking a beat that's tough enough to lure the kiddies.
