"The Way It Is" is a studio album by former Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Trapeze vocalist/ bassist Glenn Hughes, originally released in 1999. While Hughes’ previous album, 1996’s "Addiction", had a serious, quite dramatic and heavy sound with songs that focused on the turmoil in his life, its follow-up, The Way It Is, has a distinctly lighter tone. The metal edge of Addiction was replaced with funk-infused one. However, unlike 1995’s "Feel", which had definite funk, pop and soul sounds, The Way It Is keeps the hard rock Hughes is best known for.
