Let Love In (1990)

Let Love In is the third studio album by American singer - songwriter Crystal Lewis, released in July 1990 by Frontline Records. Lewis' then-husband Brian Ray produced two tracks while Scott V. Smith produced the rest of the album.

Building upon her signature sound, Let Love In blends upbeat pop-rock rhythms with soul and early 1990s dance-pop elements. It features early hip-hop and urban-gospel crossovers, notably collaborating with West Coast Christian hip-hop pioneers The Dynamic Twins and S.F.C. on the No. 1 Christian CHR hit "Rock Solid." Other hits included the title song, "Secret Hideaway" and "Jump."

Let Love In was reissued on CD in 1997 by Metro One with an alternate album cover.
