"Let Me Let Go" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
LOVE WILL ALWAYS WIN is a 1999 greatest-hits compilation from country singer Faith Hill's first three albums on Warner Bros. Nashville.
This Australian special edition of the CD has 13 songs, including two bonus tracks: "Let Me Let Go" (the MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE soundtrack version) and "It Matters to Me."
Faith Hill's third album, simply titled FAITH, amounts to nothing less than an artistic reinvention. Hill, not a writer herself, has chosen a collection of well-crafted, weighty songs designed to show off her substantial vocal chops to fullest effect. Songs from top Nashville writers like Matraca Berg, Gretchen Peters and Beth Neilsen Chapman are included, but so is material from rockers Aldo Nova and Sheryl Crow. Such diversity adds up to a wide range of styles, all of which Hill handles effortlessly.
The overriding theme of FAITH is love--getting it, keeping it and losing it. The opening cut, "This Kiss," is outstanding--an ode to the power of the perfect smooch, with a killer melody and chorus you can't stop singing. Two non love-related standouts are "Better Days," a message of hope to a downtrodden friend, and "Secret of Life," about finding happiness in the simplest things. Faith's husband Tim McGraw makes an appearance on "Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me," a Diane Warren-penned song that's similar to their previous duet "It's Your Love."
| | Editorial reviews | ...Soaring through uplifting love songs by Diane Warren, Gretchen Peters, and Sheryl Crow, Hill has never sounded more passionate or sophisticated. But she's often so far out on a stylistic limb that only her ambition sustains her. - Rating: B-
