'''''Move to This''''' is the debut studio album by English singer [[Cathy Dennis]]. It was released on 14 August 1990 through [[Polydor Records]]. Dennis was discovered by her manager [[Simon Fuller]] in 1986, and worked on the record for three years with [[D Mob|Daniel Poku]]. Together they released the single "[[C'mon and Get My Love]]" in 1989, which jump started her career.

A dance-pop record, ''Move to This'' was primarily produced by herself with Phil Bodger, and features contributions by Poku and [[Nile Rodgers]]. Two of its tracks, "[[Just Another Dream]]" and "[[Touch Me (All Night Long)]]", were remixed for single release by [[Shep Pettibone]].

''Move to This'' peaked at number three in the United Kingdom, where it was certified Gold. Despite four of its five singles reaching top ten on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], the album was only a minor success, stalling at number 67 in the United States.

==Singles==
''Move to This'' spawned five singles which were spread out over a period of two years. The first single, "[[C'mon and Get My Love]]", which also appeared on the [[D Mob]] album ''[[A Little Bit of This, a Little Bit of That]]'' and was credited to either D Mob or "D Mob introducing Cathy Dennis", was released in 1989. It peaked at number 15 on the [[UK Singles Chart]], number 35 on Australia's [[ARIA Charts]], number one on ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]''{{'}}s [[Dance Club Songs]] chart,<ref name="billboardhotdancecagml">{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/charts/1990-01-27/dance-club-play-songs |title=Dance Club Songs |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=27 January 1990 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170906125939/http://www.billboard.com/charts/dance-club-play-songs/1990-01-27 |archive-date=6 September 2017 |access-date=20 September 2023}}</ref> and number 10 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] in the U.S.<ref name="billboard100cagml">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1990-03-17/ |title=''Billboard'' Hot 100 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=17 March 1990 |access-date=20 September 2023}}</ref>
