Disco de Amy Grant: “Baby Baby”

This is the first album I ever purchased from Amy Grant. I have to say that the first time I heard it back in 1991, I loved it right away. Every song is put together very well. I read from one of the previous reviews that someone didn't like the song, Galileo but Galileo actually is a very, very good song. Baby Baby, Every Heartbeat, I Will Remember You and Good For Me are only some of the reknown songs on the album. I think the strongest song on the album is You're Not Alone, which is a rock ballad and has actually comforted me in my times of loneliness. I would highly recommend this album.

Heart in Motion by Amy Grant is the best album of the early '90s. Grant was one of my childhood favorites, these pop songs are well-crafted and catchy to the bone. Standout tracks include: Good For Me, Every Heartbeat, That's What Love Is For, Ask Me, You're Not Alone, I Will Remember You, and How Can We See That For. This was the first album where Grant stepped away from her Christian roots, a lot of her so-called fans were upset but these songs are not offensive so what was the big deal? I highly recommend this feel-good pop gem!

I'm not really under 13, but I'm using my dad's account to review this. Anyways, Amy Grant really had a lot to do to make another album as good as Unguarded and Lead Me On, but she did it! This was probably one of my first favorite cd's ever (I've loved it for 10 years already) Here are the track listings

Good For Me-10/10-I love this song, it's got a great rock feel, and is just fun to sing along too!

Baby, Baby-10/10-Now who could listen to this song and not smile?

Every Heartbeat-10/10-One of my personal faves, it sounds a lot like Madonna's song "Cherish", but has a different feel to it.

That's What Love is For-10/10-Beautiful Ballad

Ask Me-10/10-My favorite song on the entire cd. It's very haunting and is about a girl who has to overcome sexual abuse. It almost made me cry the first time I heard it.

Galileo-10/10-I love this song too, great metaphor!

You're Not Alone-10/10-Amy shows her rock side here, and it's true, she can rock!

Hats-10/10-This song was kinda weird at first, but the more I listened to it the more I liked it. The beat kinda reminds me of "Love Shack", but maybe that's just me.

I Will Remember You-10/10-This song as another sad song, but it's beautiful. A perfect way to say goodbye to a loved one.

How Can We See That Far-10/10-Another beautiful ballad

Hopes Set High-10/10-In this song, Amy stays true to her Christian music roots and sings "If there's anything good that happens to life it's from Jesus". So true Amy so true.

"Good For Me": a high-energy pop/rock track that could've been more successful than "Baby Baby" if it had been the first single off the album

"Baby Baby": a simple, contemporary pop song that is nice to listen to anytime

"Every Heartbeat": another high-energy pop track that shows undying love between a man and a woman

"That's What Love Is For": a beautiful ballad that again exemplifies West Coast pop/rock

"Ask Me": a moving, poignant song about a girl who blossoms from a sexually abused girl into a beautiful woman, while questioning the presence of God in the process

"Galileo": a fun song to listen to regardless of your mood or feeling

"You're Not Alone": one of the first tracks on this album to show Amy's Christian values

"Hats": a song that reminds everybody just how much a mother does in her family's life

"I Will Remember You": an amazingly powerful ballad that really doesn't seem like a ballad after listening to it for a while

"How Can We See That Far": I personally think that this is one of the weak songs on the album, could've fit better on LEAD ME ON

"Hope Set High": a song that doesn't fit in the album as a whole, but a good religious anthem

Overall: HEART IN MOTION is terribly underrated as not just a mainstream pop album, but a Christian pop album as well.

I know, that's a lot of p's....but anyways, this was one of the biggest pop albums of the early 90's and rightfully so. Up until this point, Amy was mainly known for her Christian music, although she had a big pop hit in the 80's with Peter Cetera on the song "The Next Time I Fall In Love."

"Heart In Motion" yielded five big hit singles. "Baby Baby" is by far the best and most memorable and a single I will forever associate with the early 90's. It was a #1 single and catchy as anything on the radio at that time. "Every Heartbeat" was the other monster and actually, I consider one of the weakest songs on the album. It hit #2 on the charts *I'm pretty sure* and its upbeat, but just does not grab me like "Baby Baby" always has. "That's What Love Is For" was also a big top 10 hit and a ballad I remember fondly from my childhood. Corny??? Maybe a bit, but pop music today needs a little of this type of sugary sweetness. The kickoff track "Good For Me" was also a solid top 10 hit and rightfully so,cuz it's also insanley catchy and almost as good as "Baby Baby." Finally, "I Will Remember You" was the fourth hit off of "Heart In Motion" and made the top 20, just barely missing the top 10. It's a beautiful ballad...even better than TWLIF. I still hear it occasionally on adult contemporary radio.

As for the non-singles, "Ask Me" and "Gailieo" are also very strong. "How Can We See That Far" and "Hope Set High" close the album with Amy returning to her inspirational/ Christian roots.

Major props to Amy for creating a strong, mainstream pop album that could appeal to all audiences without alienating her original fans. This is a classic, folks. Pop stars today should take notes on this one. No, that does not mean that they have to get all religious on us *not that that is a bad thing*, but it would be nice to hear positive, lighthearted pop on the radio again.
