"The Right Kind of Love" is a song by American recording artist Jeremy Jordan. The single was released in late 1992 as one of the lead tracks from the Beverly Hills 90210 soundtrack, later appearing on his debut album, Try My Love (1993), on Giant Records.[1] Written and produced by Tommy Faragher, Lotti Golden and Robbie Nevil, the song became an international hit, peaking at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number five in Australia.

Critical reception

Tom Doyle from Smash Hits gave the song three out of five, describing it as "bumpy grindy soul stuff". He added that "it's a very convincing New Kids impersonation which will very likely turn Mr Jordan into an international pop sensation."[2]
