Jay R Sings OPM Love Classics is the fifth studio album and third cover album by Filipino singer Jay R, released on February 5, 2010 by Universal Records. The album was produced by Ito Rapadas, who was also behind the production of Soul in Love. It consists of thirteen Tagalog songs, which were originally recorded by popular OPM acts in the 80's and 90's, handpicked by Jay R himself.

The album was released on digital download through iTunes on February 20, 2010, and Amazon.com on February 8, 2010.

Jay R took the local music-biz by storm, when his smash ballad "Bakit Pa Ba" became one of the biggest OPM ballads of 2003. He was crowned the "Philippines' Prince of R&B", because of his smooth and soulful vocal styling, which eventually spawned several local clones. His debut album Gameface was certified Platinum and he became a household name. Movies, commercial endorsements, gigs and regular TV stints came his way and a new OPM superstar was born. His Gold-certified self-titled second album produced another hit "Ngayo'y Narito", but it was his 2008 album Soul in Love that surprised everyone in the music industry. The album is filled with a solid track list, unbelievable instrumentation, a great live feel and an outstanding vocal performance. It's no wonder it became one of the biggest albums of 2008, and also solidified his status as Platinum recording artist, when the album became his second Platinum record. With Soul in Love, he was able to capture a new audience with his easy listening vocal style, without losing his signature soulful delivery.

Although he still has problems in speaking fluent Filipino language, recording an all-Tagalog album has always been his dream. A line which states, "Growing up as a Filipino musician in a foreign land, it has always been my lifelong goal to record an OPM album", can be found on the album's sleeve.
