So Much 2 Say, released in 1990 on Reprise Records, is a Gospel music album by the American contemporary Gospel music group Take 6.

The album appeared on the gospel, jazz, and R&B charts of Billboard magazine. The album or songs on it won two Grammy awards and two Dove awards. The album built on the success of the group's first album by incorporating dialogue-only tracks (tr. 1, 3, 12), sequencing (tr. 4), drum machine (tr. 4), a partial track (tr. 8), and backing band (tr. 13). Track 3 explicitly states that all sounds on track 4 were produced by the human body.
