Title: A New Faith
Review: Faith Hill's newest album breaks some new ground for her. It is much different than her last effort, much more slick and polished (maybe too much?), more adult contemporary/pop than country. She seems to be trying out several different musical styles on the same CD, maybe not sure what she is best at. What is right with this CD: her likeable, strong voice; her ability to convey emotion, especially on some of the gospel oriented tunes (mate Tim McGraw is very good at this too); the variety of songs. What is wrong: the producer made it a little to polished--is Faith having fun (example: easy to hear on the new Dixie Chick's CD Home) or is she working?; again, the producer layered so many sounds (drum machines, synths, bass) that at times it is hard to pick out Faith's voice from all the mess; maybe too much variety in song style. Next time, Faith, let them bring your fine voice to the front of the songs.
