Send Me Your Love is the second studio album by American singer Kashif. It was released by Arista Records on June 18, 1984, in the United States. His highest-charting album, Send Me Your Love reached number five on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and spawned the hit singles "Baby Don't Break Your Baby's Heart", "Are You the Woman" and "Ooh Love". In 1985, "Edgartown Groove" brought Kashif and Al Jarreau a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Send Me Your Love was digitally remastered for the first time by Finesse Records in 2008. In 2012, Funky Town Grooves also remastered and expanded the album including six additional bonus tracks.
Critical reception
AllMusic editor Ron Wynn called Send Me Your Love Kashif's "best release from a performance standpoint; his vocals had more vigor and spirit than at any time before or since, and he toned down the production, varied the arrangements, and created a much more interesting and multi-faceted presentation than anticipated."
