Amy Grant
This type of album is definitely NOT my personal cup of tea, but I must admit that Amy Grant is good at what she does. Her songs are straightforward and well-constructed, particularly her hit duet with Vince Gill, "House of Love". My only problem here is the unabashed sweetness of the sentiments that drip over each track. I tend to prefer a bit more reality, but if you love kittens, go to church religiously and believe in true love, you’ll probably disagree with me vehemently on this one. The thing is, I believe that Amy Grant is not pretending to be something that she isn’t, so although her pure-at-heart sentiments make me suspicious, at least it isn’t disgusting treacle.
Grade:
