Life's What You Make It (album)

Life's What You Make It is the third album by American R&B singer Wendy Moten.

Overview
Following her success with the album Time for Change, released the previous year, Moten returned to the studio to record her third album. She co-wrote two of the tracks as well as featuring on the production, in addition to her usual vocal duties. The album failed to have any success in her native US but its title track was another smash hit when released as a single in Japan, reaching number 1.

Reception
AllMusic's Alex Henderson gave the album 2 stars out of 5, and called the album "a generally respectable, if slightly uneven, sophomore outing for the Memphis singer".
