'Real Love' is Dolly Parton's twenty-fifth solo studio album, released in 1985. It was produced by David Malloy, who had previously worked with artists like Kenny Rogers. The album marks a shift towards a more pop and contemporary sound, moving away from the traditional country of her early work.
The album includes the hit single 'Real Love', a duet with Kenny Rogers that reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It also contains other notable songs like 'Think About Love' and 'Tie Our Love (In a Double Knot)', which had moderate success on the country charts.
Despite its commercial success, 'Real Love' received mixed reviews, with some critics noting that the pop sound diluted Parton's country essence. The album peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and number 119 on the Billboard 200.
