Friends Can Be Lovers was Dionne Warwick's second and most successful album of the 1990s. The album is a sophisticated, smooth, album of sensual, romantic, sentimental love songs with lush, soulful production. Though there are duets on the album, the main direction of the project showcases Warwick as a solo artist.
Produced in part by Ian Devaney and Lisa Stansfield, the album includes the hit singles, the lustful "Where My Lips Have Been" and the optimistic Adult Contemporary song, "Love Will Find a Way" featuring Whitney Houston. Standout album cuts include "'Till The End of Time", "Much Too Much", "Fragile", "Sunny Weather Lover" (the lead single from the album, written by a reunited Burt Bacharach and Hal David) and the title track.
