Best Kept Secret (Jennifer Paige album)
Best Kept Secret is the second studio album by American singer Jennifer Paige. It was released on April 17, 2001, by Edel Records. The album represents a shift in Paige's musical style, incorporating more pop rock and adult contemporary influences compared to her debut.
While Best Kept Secret failed to achieve the same commercial success as her self-titled debut album, it spawned the singles "Crush" (a collaboration with Danish singer Claus Norreen) and "Stranded." The album received mixed reviews, with some critics praising its mature sound and Paige's vocal performance, while others found it to be less distinctive than her earlier work.
The album explores themes of love, loss, and personal growth, and features songwriting contributions from Paige herself, as well as collaborations with established songwriters and producers. Best Kept Secret was primarily released in Europe and did not see a wide release in the United States.
