Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

From the suggestive series of photos in the CD's packaging to the aerobicised dance-floor workouts within, Faith Hill refuses to concede an inch of crossover dominance to Shania Twain. Except for a seductive duet with husband Tim McGraw on "Let's Make Love" and an occasional pinch of fiddle or steel guitar, there is little here to characterise Hill as a country artist. As pop, the results range from pretty ("Breathe", "Love Is a Sweet Thing") to pretty slight ("I Got My Baby", "If My Heart Had Wings") to borderline inane ("Bringing Out the Elvis", the voyeuristic twist of "The Way You Love Me"). Though Hill's version of Bruce Springsteen's "If I Should Fall Behind" is admirably understated, too much of the album substitutes surface dazzle for emotional depth. --Don McLeese


CD Description

With her third album, FAITH, Faith Hill tasted pop crossover success--and she evidently liked the taste. BREATHE, Hill's fourth release, takes the pop/country stylings of FAITH tothe next level. It's an appealing collection of pop, gospel, R&B, rock, and ballads, with just a bit of country thrown in. The production, featuring Hill's big voice surrounded bybooming drums and screaming guitars, is so slick you could skate on it.
Love is the subject of nearly every song, from the exuberant "I Got My Baby", to the soulful "Love Is a Sweet Thing", to the cutesy "The Way You Love Me", with its Beatlesque backing vocals. But while Hill can obviously handle a wide range of material, she sounds best on the quieter,country-flavoured numbers, like the title track, the lovely"It Will Be Me", and a haunting, vaguely Latin-flavoured reworking of Bruce Springsteen's "If I Should Fall Behind". The most emotional track is "Let's Make Love", a full-fledged duet with Hill's husband Tim McGraw. Because McGraw's voice is unmistakably country, Hill adopts a similar sound to match him. And because you know they've lived the lyrics, the song--about reconnecting emotionally and physically with your mate--comes across as undeniably real.

5.0 out of 5 stars A definite 5 star buy!!, 4 Aug 2001
This review is from: Breathe (Audio CD)
What can i say - i can't find any flaws with this album. All the songs are fantastic and the wide varity of country, romance and upbeat tunes make it well worth the money.

'If my heart had wings' is by far the best song on the album as it is a v.good sing-a-long-song - for me anyway!

Overall, a great album. Now i can't wait for the next one to be released!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply breathtaking, 13 May 2003
This review is from: Breathe (Audio CD)
Faith Hill is a country music superstar but now she is over-crossing to the pop/adult contemporary market. Not only is she an amazing powerful singer she is also very beautiful with a seemingly perfect marriage (alright for some!). Anyway but what's important is that she's not just a pretty face but that her music is of quality, which by this album and other albums it certainly is.

This album starts off with country/rock song, "What's in it for me?" It actually features a fiddle and a steel guitar, this song has sassy lyrics and it a great uplifting song to start off this album. The country/rock theme continues with the next song, "I got my baby" this song has a great melody and i love the way Faith voice sounds in this songs, she's almost rapping! For the third song it is toned down to a more serious sound, "Love is a sweet thing," the music is not as country as the first two but the lyrics are very much country and Faith brings back her twang in fact this song sounds like many of Martina McBride's recent songs.

Then comes the title track "Breathe", it is a beautiful ballad, it was a huge hit over in the US and won her many awards, it starts off with a calm verse then leads into a pulsating chorus, it is simply breathtaking. Then another ballad but this time a duet with her husband Tim McGraw, "Let's make love", this song is beautiful but since it is sung by husband and wife you someimes feel you are intruding on something personal between them but nontheless this is still a great love song and will be remembered by country fans as the same kind of song in the vain of Tammy Wynette and George Jones' duets. The album continues with the ballads "It will be me" again a song that wouldn't have been out of place on a Martina McBride album and in fact her Faith's voice can sometimes sound like Martina's.

The next song "The way you love me", is the most pop sounding song thus far on the album. It's another love song with a great melody that will have you singing it in your head as soon as you have heard it. "If i'm not in love", a piano-led ballad that was originally sung by Jody Watley, but Faith is just as convincing in this very emotional ballad. The next two songs: "Bringing out the Elvis" and "If my heart had wings", are feisty up-tempo songs that make you want to get up and dance.

Then comes another ballad and cover "If i should fall behind", which i think is the outstanding track and my personal favourite, it's a love song with haunting music, you can just imagine driving along in your car near a beach listening to this song, it is very atmostpheric. The love theme is continuted with "That's love moves", which is a ballad that soars into a gospel song, lovely. This leads into the next song "There will come a day", which has a religious theme to it so it may not be to everyones taste but it's still a catchy song, also a gospel sounding song.

I really have no complaints about this album, some people have said that it's no longer country but there is still evidence here that Faith is still a country singer but is also influnced by pop/rock. This is a great album and fans of both Celine Dion and Martina McBride and the like should go out and buy this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Guaranteed to brighten up your day, 25 Mar 2001
By I. Davies (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Breathe (Audio CD)
This is definitely a feel-good album. The collection of tracks are extremely pleasant on the ear and a joy to listen to. I find Faith's voice to be far higher quality than that of Shania Twain with a better range. It allows Faith to sing a variety of different types of songs extremely well indeed and this album demonstrates this perfectly.

She is a talented, beautiful lady with a great voice, singing good songs. What more do you need? More than a match for Shania Twain.
