Try My Love is the debut album by American singer Jeremy Jordan, released in 1993 by Giant Records.
Four singles were released, namely: "The Right Kind of Love", "Wannagirl", "Try My Love", and "My Love Is Good Enough", respectively.
While the first single was the most successful on the music charts and was included in the soundtrack of the American television series Beverly Hills, 90210, the last two were part of the soundtrack of the 1993 film Airborne.
Giant Records exclusively released a compilation in Japan titled Jeremy The Remix, with 10 tracks that included the three singles remixed.
Commercially, the album achieved moderate success. It reached #179 on the Billboard 200 chart[1] and sold over 400,000 copies worldwide.[2]
This would be the last studio album released by Jordan on a major label.
In 1990, Jordan wanted to get involved in movies and sign with a talent agency in Chicago, but was forbidden since the orphanage he lived was in Mooseheart, (near North Aurora ), forty miles away,[3] and then in 1991, when Jordan was seventeen years old, before Thanksgiving 1991, he moved to Chicago to stay with a friend's parents. After a fight he was expelled from the house where he was living and ended up homeless,[3] living in the subway until he met his manager Peter Schivarelli. He then signed a record deal with his record company.[3]
Taking advantage of the good reception of the album in Japan (it reached the top 40 on the Oricon),[13] Giant Records exclusively released a compilation in the country titled Jeremy The Remix, with 10 tracks that included three songs from Try My Love ("The Right Kind of Love", "Wannagirl", and "Try My Love") and their respective remixed versions.[14]
Released solely in the CD format, it included several postcards, photos, and a thank-you letter for the fans.[14]
On the Oricon Albums Chart, it peaked at number 70 and sold 6,510 copies in the country.[13]

AllMusic | [15] |
Matt Collar from AllMusic gave to the album 3 out of 5 stars and stated that "the album showcases Jordan's soulful if slight voice with a radio-ready, synth-heavy R&B production" and that "while the album does contain altogether too much filler, "Right Kind of Love"'s Todd Rundgren meets Andy Gibb melodic hook almost qualifies it as a classic of the decade."[15]
