Tell It to My Heart is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Dayne,released on January 19,1988,by Arista Records. Four singles were released and all of them reached the top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100:"Tell It to My Heart" (number 7),"Prove Your Love" (number 7),"I'll Always Love You" (number 3),and "Don't Rush Me" (number 2),with the first two reaching the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart at numbers 3 and 8,respectively. The album has been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA),denoting shipments in excess of two million copies in the United States.
Two covers were issued for the album. The original version was photographed by Gilles Larrain and was very colorful,with Dayne resembling her appearance in the "Tell It to My Heart" music video,sporting big hair and outlandish makeup while wearing a tight black dress. The subsequent cover (which first appeared on the cover art for the single "Don't Rush Me") was photographed by Jennifer Baumann and was more subdued,showing Dayne in much more modest hair and makeup,seated against a wall while wearing a brown leather jacket and white tank top. It is likely that Arista Records reworked the album cover art to help cash in on Dayne's new-found success on the less youth-oriented Adult Contemporary chart after the release of "I'll Always Love You".
Andrew Panos from Number One remarked Dayne's "belting,soaraway voice" on the album. [4]
