From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Best Kept Secret is the fourth album by Scottish singer Sheena Easton. It was released in 1983 on EMI Records.

Easton's first three albums had all been recorded in London with producer Christopher Neil. With Best Kept Secret Easton's homebase shifted to the United States - the singer having been more consistently popular there than in her native UK - Best Kept Secret being first album to be recorded in the US (prior to this album Easton had cut the #6 hit duet with Kenny Rogers: "We've Got Tonight", in her first US recording session).

The producers of Best Kept Secret: Greg Mathieson and Trevor Veitch had previously worked with Laura Branigan and Best Kept Secret alternated dance tracks in the Eurodisco mode of Branigan's signature tune "Gloria" with ballads. The album's lead single was the dance track "Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)" http://youtu.be/ctcsYpYfLOY which became Easton's third solo hit to reach the US Top Ten with a #9 peak on the Billboard Hot 100. The second single was the ballad "Almost Over You" (#25) and another dance track "Devil in a Fast Car" was subsequently issued as a single to reach #79.

Best Kept Secret peaked at #33 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart with a chart duration of 38 weeks. Neither the album nor its singles had high chart impact in the UK, Best Kept Secret charting there at #99 while "Telefone..." and "Almost Over You" had respective UK peaks of #84 and #89.

In Canada both the Best Kept Secret album and "Telefone..." single were certified Gold by the CRIA.

Best Kept Secret was reissued in 2000 on One Way Records, adding the hit duet "We've Got Tonight" with Kenny Rogers.
