Louder Than Love (TKA album)

Louder Than Love is the second studio album by American Latin freestyle group TKA, released by Tommy Boy Records on August 15, 1990. It was released on CD, LP and cassette.[2] Unlike its predecessor, Scars of Love, this album failed to chart on the U.S. Billboard magazine Top Pop Albums chart, and received a weaker review (retrospectively) by AllMusic's Alex Henderson.[3] Four singles were released, three of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
