"I Can Make It Better" is a song by American recording artistLuther Vandross. It was released in 1996 as the second single from his tenth and platinum album,Your Secret Love (1996). The song reached number 15 on the USBillboardHot R&B Singles chart and peaked in the top fifty on theUK Singles Chart.[1] Amusic video was also produced to promote the single.
Larry Flick fromBillboard declared the song as "an old-schoolsoul ballad that reminds everyone why he is a truly untouchable stylist." He added, "In lesser hands, this song would reek of unprogrammable nostalgia. But Vandross cruises through the song with enticing and romantic flair, deftly swerving around an arrangement of strings and horns. A fine way to maintain the interest ofR&B radio program- mers while possibly tweaking popsters who could certainly use a little more puresoul in their lives."[2] A reviewer fromMusic Week rated the song three out of five, describing it as "a smooth ballad with uptempo touches from the king of lurve".[3]
Note: "A Kiss for Christmas" is from the Vandross albumThis Is Christmas (1995)
