ABOUT THE RECORD Hearsay, by Alexander O'Neal, explores similar genres to those of his previous self-titled album, including pop, R&B, soul, post-disco, funk, and adult contemporary music, while also incorporating a newer genre, new jack swing. The album was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. It features contributions from guest musicians, including Cherrelle, David Eiland, and Lisa Keith, and is generally regarded as the culmination of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of O'Neal's early work. On release, the album was received favourably by the majority of music critics. O'Neal's most commercially successful solo album, it went on to peak at No. 29 on the Billboard 200 and reached No. 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The album launched seven charting singles in the UK, including five top 40 hits. Fake peaked at No. 33 on the UK Singles Chart; Criticize peaked at No. 4; Never Knew Love Like This at No. 26; The Lovers at No. 28; (What Can I Say) To Make You Love Me at No. 27; Sunshine at No. 72. Several remixes of the album's songs also charted: Fake '88, No. 16; Hearsay '89, NO. 56. Two of the tracks, Fake and Criticize, were also popular anthems in UK dance clubs. The album was certified gold by the RIAA on October 20, 1987. In the UK, it sold more than 900,000 copies, being certified certified 3× Platinum by the BPI.
