Can't We Fall in Love Again? is the fifth album by American soul singer-songwriter Phyllis Hyman. It was released by Arista Records in 1981. [2]
The original album was mainly produced by previous collaborator, Norman Connors, but Chuck Jackson was brought in to mix and complete most of the tracks and to produce the title track, when Connors dropped out.
The title track was released as the first single from the album in the United States in June 1981. The single included an edited version of the song with the album track "The Sunshine in My Life" on the B-side. [3]
"Tonight You and Me" was the second U.S. single and was released in October 1981. The 7" release re-used "The Sunshine in My Life" as its B-side. [4] A promotional 12" release included an extended remix of the song on the B-side instead. [5]
"You Sure Look Good to Me" was the third and final single in the United States. The single included an edited version of the song on the A-side and the album track "Just Another Face in the Crowd" on the B-side. [6]
The United Kingdom had two singles released from the album. The first single was "You Sure Look Good to Me", which entered the U.K. charts in September 1981. Unlike in the United States, the single was released on both 7" and 12" formats in the United Kingdom. The 7" single included "The Sunshine in My Life" on the B-side. [7] Two different 12" singles were released, containing two and three tracks each respectively. The 2-track version included the album version of "You Sure Look Good to Me" on the A-side and the album track "Don't Tell Me, Tell Her" on the B-side. [8] The 3-track version additionally included the album version of "Tonight You and Me". [9]
"Tonight You and Me" was eventually released as the album's second U.K. single in its own right. Like with the previous single it was released on both 7" and 12" formats. The album track "I Ain't Asking" was the B-side. [10] The 12" single included the remixed version of "Tonight You and Me", previously only available as a promotional release in the United States. [11]
"You Sure Look Good to Me" was the most widely released single from the album, being issued in Brazil, France and Japan. "Can't We Fall in Love Again?" was the B-side in Brazil and France, [12] while "Tonight You and Me" was selected as the B-side in Japan. [13]
"Tonight You and Me" and "You Sure Look Good to Me" were released as a double A-side single in Italy. [14]
