I Kinda Like Me is the ninth album by Gloria Gaynor. It failed to make an impact because of the then current, now defunct Disco backlash.[citation needed] Includes the single, "Let's Mend What's Been Broken." "I Love You Cause" was dedicated to her then husband and manager, Linwood M. Simon.

This album was reissued on CD in Japan by Polydor (POCP-2182).
