Untitled

Life's What You Make It is the fourth album by Wendy Moten.

Overview

Flush from her success with the album Time for Change released the previous year, Wendy Moten found herself back in the studio for the album Life's What You Make It. She co-wrote two tracks as well as featured in the production, in addition to her usual vocal duties. The album tanked in the US but its title track single was another smash hit in Japan, peaking at number 1.

Reception

allmusic's Alex Henderson gave it 2 stars of 5, and called the album "a generally respectable, if slightly uneven, sophmore outing for the Memphis singer".
