The sax in Nothing Ever Changes is completely different than Two Kinds of Love. Kenny G is way too whimsicle for rock or even pop. Stevie wanted to work with Kenny G because when she heard Songbird while on tour with the Mac in 1987. She said she was captivated and promised herself to include Kenny on her next solo album. Kenny is talented but not sure he really belonged there. I did not care for 2 kinds of love at first. But that song has captivated me ever since. Stevie does not write many love songs but that is one from the heart.
Having said that.... its not a live song. She did it the entire TOSOTM tour. She should have kept Juliet or played Oooh My love instead.
