Product Description

Faith Hill finally owns up to what we knew all along. She may be from deep-dish Mississippi, but she isn't a country singer, and never has been. This babe's a diva now. And, as she says in her best Diana Ross voice on "Free," "There ain't nothin' I can do about it." But what she could exercise some control over, as the coproducer of her fifth studio album, is the quality and style of her particular brand of über-pop, which on Cry considerably ratchets up the noise factor from 1999's Breathe. The songs, many written by tunesmiths long working in Nashville, often come stocked with meaningful messages, i.e. the emptiness of addiction ("If You're Gonna Fly") or the momentary connection with a loved one who has passed on ("You're Still Here"). Yet Hill and company (longtime producers Byron Gallimore and Dann Huff, in conjunction with Marti Frederiksen) obviously think the best way to make an R&B/pop record is to build a huge, airless production around screeching guitars, wall-rattling drums, and Big Mama choirs. The singer herself may be, indeed, turning out her best vocals ever. But the album itself is a self-conscious mess--a big, wallowing cacophony of sound that leaves the listener numb. In the end, it's a miserable failure. This chanteuse's R&B just ain't got no soul. --Alanna Nash

Faith Hill Never seems to amaze me, this has to be the best CD she has made. I am a big fan of Faith Hill and have all of her CD's but this one has so much heart and soul, so much power behind it. Faith has always shown her talent in every song she sings, but this CD shows how deeply she loves what she does and how much of a risk she will take. Well Done Faith Thank you from one of your biggest Country Fans for keeping us wanting more, you truley a gift to the Country Music World.

Faith's voice sounds better than ever with her cd Cry. This cd goes to show that she can do pop as well as country. It's a great cd even though its a lot different than her other releases. If you are a fan of Faith this cd is definately worth buying.!!!!

Cry just a little longer!
I've been a fan of Faith Hill since 1993 even though i'm barely a fan of country. There was just something about her that is irresistable, even then. Read more

Definitely lacking...
I believe that Faith Hill is talented; she has a decent voice, but she definitely works it to its fullest potential. Sadly, this album is terribly disappointing to me. Read more

I think Nashville should be shame of them self's because Faith Hill is the best female singer in country music beside Dolly Parton. Read more
