Donny Osmond is a 1989 album released by Donny Osmond. It was released on Capitol Records. It is notable for featuring the number 2 smash hit, "Soldier of Love", which Randall Popken, Alice Newsome and Lanell Gonzales called "a faintly suggestive tune set to a post-disco beat." It was released as a tune by a "mystery singer", as Osmond's promoter feared that no one would buy the album if the singer was revealed. It is also notable for featuring five songs that Osmond co-wrote, and for Osmond also handling drum programming and keyboards on a few tracks.
It also featured three more singles, "Sacred Emotion" (which was a radio single), "I'm In It For Love" and "If It's Love That You Want", the last of which is featured as a bonus track on some copies of the compact disc.
