My Love Is Your Love is the fourth studio album by American singer Whitney Houston, released worldwide on November 17, 1998. It was Houston's first studio album in eight years, following I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990) although she had participated on three movie soundtracks during that period. My Love Is Your Love is composed of mid-tempo R&B, hip hop soul, pop and dance music, produced by musicians such as Whitney Houston herself, Rodney Jerkins, Soulshock & Karlin, Missy Elliott, Wyclef Jean, David Foster, Lauryn Hill, and Babyface.
It is notable for introducing elements of hip hop into Houston's work, only sparingly used in her previous material. The album was globally successful, selling over 10 million copies.[4] It was certified four times platinum in the United States. Particularly, the album was a hit in Europe, peaking #1 for 6 weeks on European Top 100 Albums, selling over 4.3 million copies.[5] It generated several hit singles: "When You Believe", a duet with Mariah Carey, which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 71st Academy Awards ceremony; "Heartbreak Hotel", which features Kelly Price and Faith Evans; "It's Not Right but It's Okay". The title track "My Love Is Your Love", was certified platinum and became Houston's third-best-selling single ever;[6][7][8] and "I Learned from the Best".
My Love Is Your Love received positive reviews and is regarded as one of her best studio albums.[9] At the 42nd Grammy Awards of 2000, the album received seven nominations, including Best R&B Album and Best R&B Song, twice. Houston won for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "It's Not Right But It's Okay",[10] her sixth and final Grammy Award.
