double album by husband-and-wife R&B singersKenny Lattimore &Chante Moore released October 2006. The two-disc set consists of "Uncovered", a disc of R&B songs and "Covered" a disc of gospel songs. This is the fifth album overall for Lattimore, sixth for Moore, and the last for Zomba-affiliated labels LaFace Records and Verity Records.Biography
Originally the album was recorded as a single disc titled "Uncovered" and scheduled for release in November 2005. [cite web|url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1077/is_1_61/ai_n15763516|title=Also Noted (Releases)|publisher=Ebony|date=November 2005] The title was chosen as a double entendre representing the uncovered truth behind the ups and downs in a marriage, as well as denoting a departure from their previous release which was a
cover album . Nonetheless, the disc does contain two obligatory covers. The album begins with their version of theL.T.D. classic "Love Ballad." The two also do a near-exact remake ofSade 's "No Ordinary Love."The first original song released to the public was the uptempo single "Tonight (2-Step)" which playfully incorporates into the chorus a bit of the 1965 Bacharach/David anthem "
What the World Needs Now Is Love ."In keeping with the album theme of love established on "Things That Lovers Do", the bulk of "Uncovered/Covered" addresses the subject from to aspects. The first disc examines the romantic aspect of love, the second disc addresses its spiritual aspect. Though both singers are known for their contributions to R&B music, they are "no strangers to the gospel genre."

As for Moore, she enlisted
BeBe Winans to produce the gospel song "Because You're Mine" on her 1992 debut "Precious".At the time of the release of "Tonight," Lattimore & Moore's followup was planned to be a single disc follow-up simply titled "Uncovered". Verity Records president Max Siegel requested that they record a gospel component to the disc after a standout performance at the
Stellar Awards in 2006.cite web|url=http://www.ensoundentertainment.com/interviewdet.asp?Announceid=41|publisher=En Sound Entertainment|title=Kenny Lattimore & Chanté Moore Speaks on Christianity, Relationship and their New CD, Uncovered/Uncovered (Interview)] Save for a single track, the second disc, which would be titled "Covered", was produced by gospel hitmakerFred Hammond . [cite web|url=http://www.gospelcity.com/artists/interviews/285|title=Kenny Lattimore & Chante Moore (Interview)|publisher=Gospel City]Closer to the release of the double album, the song "Figure It Out" was written and recorded with producer
Bryan-Michael Cox , added to the album and released as a single. "Figure It Out" reached #24 on theBubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart [cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/esearch/chart_display.jsp?cfi=345&cfgn=Singles&cfn=Bubbling+Under+R%26amp%3BB%2FHip-Hop+Singles&ci=3079857&cdi=9102056&cid=11%2F04%2F2006|title="Figure It Out" - Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles|publisher=Billboard.com] and #37 on the Hot Adult R&B Airplay charts.

Kirk Franklin andYolanda Adams , there is still some resistance to R&B artists such as Kenny Lattimore & Chante Moore moving from their mainstream success into a gospel foray.
