Heard this in the thrift store today! So good! Would be a great 90s dancefloor filler for anyone who DJs that stuff!

This is up there too. I loved these songs when I was a kid, had no idea they were Amy Grant.

I'm not 100% sure what I'm talking about but Good to Me almost feels like freestyle's last gasp on the chart. Obv I dont think AG was from Miami but just in production choices...Alfred, you seem like a freestyle enthusiast? Do you get the same impression?

"I Will Remember You", even though its central message is fairly optimistic, used to really depress me as a teen, as I had bad separation anxiety issues so losing touch w/ people was a shattering concept. great tune.

A bit, yes. It'd have to be faster. Certainly those synths already sounded outdated in '91.

took me forever to notice the album and single mixes of "every heartbeat" are different but they're really different
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 10 May 2014 16:57 (ten years ago) link
Yep. Prefer the album version, thanks to that burbling sequencer.

btw if "Hats" still bothers you, just imagine she's singing about 'condoms.'

been bumping Cetera's "Next Time I Fall" a bunch lately and she's great on that. actually I've always liked her in general, including "I Will Remember You"

Tbh I had no idea until just now that Amy Grant did "Baby, Baby," which makes me feel like there are a lot of other songs from that era that I attribute wrongly.
But also this tidbit from earlier in the thread:

I went to the Amy Grant/Vince Gill Christmas concert in 2011 (can't imagine it's changed all that much in the last decade) and it was quite a pleasant experience.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Thursday, 23 December 2021 17:57 (two years ago) link
I know it's been said before in this thread but "Baby Baby" is a jam and I've always loved that song. Something about the drum sound/production in particular evokes my childhood. Same goes for a lot of 'soft rock'/adult contemporary from that period but this is a highlight.

Great read, this -- and a familiar voice is quoted within.

She rules:
Amy Grant announced that she & her husband Vince Gill are going to host a same-sex wedding on their farm for her niece. Amy is quoted as saying, “Jesus you just narrowed it down to two things: love God & love each other.” https://t.co/SznCI3trDg— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) December 19, 2022

I think we can all agree now that "Baby Baby" is leagues better than "Smells Like Teen Spirit" right? It took awhile, but I'm glad society finally caught up

I mean I'm not shocked at the reaction (the Christian scene disowned her for far less than this decades ago), but once again, props for Amy.

Still have a very vivid memory from the one year I was forced to join a youth group and attending one Friday night meeting where three girls in the group tearfully yanked the tape from the spools of their Amy Grant cassettes and dramatically threw them in the garbage for "going secular".
