Well Kept Secret was released by Capitol in 1978 and is Newton's first album as a solo artist, though Silver Spur remained her backing band for five more years. The album marked Newton's most rock-oriented record up to that time and features five songs written by her long-time collaborator Otha Young.

Baby" and the Holland–Dozier–Holland song, "A Love Like Yours ", which was originally recorded in 1963 by Martha and the Vandellas as the B-side to their hit single "Heat Wave". Newton's rendition of "Hey! Baby" was the only single released from Well Kept Secret. Neither charted, prompting rock critic Jim Worbois to note: "The title of this album seems to apply to her career as much as anything. She was still a couple years away from any substantial success. Newton seems to be without direction on this record and, as such, is trying some harder-edged material."
