The gentle sex

『The gentle sex』（ザ・ジェントル・セックス）は、19に発売された角松敏生通算1作目のセルフカバー・アルバム。

**解説**
角松敏生がこれまで女性アーティストに提供してきた数々の“女心”を、シンガーとして歌い上げたセルフカバー・アルバム。提供曲に加え、他の作家による「SINGLE GIRL」も取り上げられている。
「You're My Only Shinin' Star」のセルフカバーは、バラード・ベスト・アルバム『TEARS BALLAD』以来2度目となるが、オリジナルの日本語詞では今回が初。先行シングルとしてもリリースされたが、本作ではアルバム・ヴァージョンで収録。
本作唯一の新曲「君という名の僕におしえたい」は、先行シングル「You're My Only Shinin' Star」に“Introduction”としてカップリングで収録されていた曲のフル・ヴァージョン。ほとんどテレビ出演をしない角松がフジテレビ・関西テレビ『SMAP×SMAP』でのスタジオ・ライブに同曲と「You're My Only Shinin' Star」で出演、SMAPと共演した。
ブックレットの女性は角松自身の女装。
