Whisper a Prayer is the third studio album by British singer-songwriter Mica Paris. It was released on 8 June 1993 by 4th & B'way Records, her last for the label. Recording sessions for the album commenced in the spring of 1992 and concluded the following spring with Paris co-writing four of the twelve songs and producing one. Whisper a Prayer features writing and production from Narada Michael Walden, Rod Temperton and Terry Britten all of whom were top record producers at the time.
The album has received acclaim from critics who complimented the quality of the writing and production in addition to Paris' voice and delivery of the songs. The album was a moderate commercial success, bettering its predecessor Contribution on the UK Albums Chart, debuting at number 20. It was less successful in the US where it peaked at ninety-nine on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Four singles were released from the album, two of which were top 30 hits on the UK Singles Chart. Lead single "I Never Felt Like This Before" became Paris' highest appearance on the chart since her top 10 debut "My One Temptation", peaking at number 15. Second single from the album, "I Wanna Hold On to You" peaked at number 27 and was the highest charting in the US, reaching 46 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
The Rod Temperton composition, "You Put a Move on My Heart", was covered and released by American recording artist Tamia and record producer Quincy Jones in 1995.[7] Their version became a top 20 hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[8][9]
