    Awesome

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 21, 2003

    I love Faith Hill and her music. I have been a fan since her debute album"Take me as I am", and though Faith's style and music have both changed she just get's better with each album. Country music fans have critisized Faith for n...o longer being country, all because her music doesn't have a steel guitar or fiddle in it this time around, well to them I say, "Shut up." "Cry" is an awesome album and though the music may not sound like traditional country music, take the time to truly listen to the lyrics, cos when you do, you will see that it doesn't matter what the music itself sounds like, but it's in-fact the lyrics that have the most impact."Cry", the albums first single is great, who hasn't had these thought's after a bad break-up or divorce. "Would you cry a little / lie just a little / and maybe I would feel / just a little less pain / I gave, now I'm wanting / something in return / So would you cry / Just a little for me .... Yeah / Cry, just a little for me." How true do those word's ring when your heart has been broken in 2. "When the light's go down", the second single from "Cry" talk's about being on top of the world and loved one minute, then lossing it all and having nothing the next, rather it be from self doubt, fear, or whatever. The third single "You're still here" speaks of losing a loved one, but still feeling them near you. "Thought I saw you today / you were standing in the sun then you turned away / but I knew it couldn't be / but my heart believed / oh there seem's like there's something every day / how could you be so far away / when you're still here." No I ask you, how can you not fall in love with Faith's music? Other song highlites are, "Free", which talkes about a woman who had it rough growing up but she eventially get's her life in order and makes something of herself. "Beautiful" is just that, beautiful, it talkes about the way her man makes her feel when he does this or that. "Baby you belong"is a great song about letting somebody know that they're right where they belong, damn what everyone else say's. "Stronger", now this song is the only true country sounding song on the whole album, "Stronger" is about being strong enough to set somebody free even though it's gonna hurt, so they can finally be happy. "This is me" is an awesome up-tempoed number that talkes about all ones fears and insecurities, and doubt's and basically say's, this is me, this is who I am and what you get. Last, but by no means the last of the great song's on the album is "I think I will", another up-tempoed number that talkes about doing all they can to get back the love they had but lost."Cry" may not be Country music by some people's narrow minded standerds, but if they forget long enough about what the intrumental part of the album sound's like, they find an awesom album full of song's that I'm sure they can relate to, so just shut up long enough to truly listen.

    Music:

    The Music Genre Is Wrong!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 9, 2003

    This is absolutely not a country album. The producer should not classify this album in country music genre. It is really disappointing country music fans worldwide. It is only a business trick! What happened to pure country music lately? Couldn't... the music producer be honest to the country music fans by not selling this one as country album. This is pop/rock album, not country at all, not even sounds closer to the worst contemporary/modern country songs the country fans had ever heard. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Cry

  • All Music Guide

    Lavishly produced and packaged, Cry marks the continued ascent of Faith Hill from the lowlands of down-home authenticity to the heights of pop superstardom. Though plenty of Nashville A-Team players back her up, the sound they churn out has almost nothing to do with country music. Riding a tide of massed synthesizer textures, sweeping orchestral strings, thundering drums, rock guitar licks, and melodramatic dynamics, Hill strives for the biggest possible gestures in her performance. The result is the kind of glitzy fireworks normally associated with Star Search or American Idol, in which the lyric takes a distant backseat to raw exhibitionism and only the most cursory nod is made toward country lyrical convention. (The nod is particularly schizoid in "This Is Me," as Hill proclaims "I try to love Jesus and myself ... yeah, yeah.") Beyond the general issue of taste, this approach raises twofold problems for Hill in particular, in that her established skills as a song interpreter are los...t in all this sturm und drang and her voice, while undeniably powerful at its peak, doesn't have the range that allows most singers in this style, from proto-diva Barbra Streisand to flameout icon Mariah Carey, to at least milk the material at some superficial level. With all this in mind, it may be significant that Tim McGraw, a guest on previous Hill albums, makes no appearance here. Perhaps there's no room for country credibility, or even for a spouse, when one's career trajectory is as hot as Hill's. - Robert L. Doerschuk, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Faith Hill

One of the biggest female country stars of the '90s, Faith Hill also took advantage of the inroads Shania Twain made into pop territory, becoming an enormous crossover success by decade's end. Of course, Hill's movie star good looks certainly helped her cause, and her much-celebrated marriage to fellow country star Tim McGraw gave her career an extra kick of glamour and... Read more
