Soul Alone
Soul Alone is the third studio album by American singer and musician Daryl Hall, released in 1993 on Epic Records. Distinct from the sound of his successful duo Hall & Oates, this album features a more soulful and jazzy feel, with production by Hall with Peter Lord Moreland and V. Jeffrey Smith from R&B group The Family Stand, and Michael Peden. However, Epic failed to find a marketing niche for Hall's new sound, and the album was not a commercial success. "Soul Alone" features singer Mariah Carey and producer/multi-instrumentalist Walter Afanasieff as composers. Four singles were  released from the album: "I'm in a Philly Mood," "Stop Loving Me, Stop Loving You," "Help Me Find a Way to Your Heart" and "Wildfire." The Japanese version of the album came with an extra 12th track, "I've Finally Seen the Light." Songwriter Janna Allen, who co-composed "Written in Stone" (the only song on the album Hall didn't have a hand in writing), died two weeks before the album's release. In addition to being a longtime musical collaborator of Hall's, she was the sister of his longtime girlfriend Sara Allen. Singles. "I'm in  a Philly Mood" was the first single released from the album, reaching number 82 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 on October 2, 1993 and remaining on the chart for two weeks.

"Stop Loving Me, Stop Loving You" was released as the second single from the album, reaching number 30 in the UK in 1994.
