Back to their roots

Well, maybe not quite. But that sounds like country music for our present understanding and here and there a little more. Three years after "Cry", their 5th CD, sounds on "Fireflies" different in many ways, everything is much more pleasing: Yes, yes, it is so: Faith Hill returns to its roots!
I think back to the review of her last CD "Cry", then "Fireflies" a pleasant falling over. Because at that time I realized that "Faith Hill sings no more country music. Once upon a time, my friends. If I want to hear good pop, then I just heard Jewel." But now listen up, friends: the time has progressed and somehow the madness of US country radio has its huge impact on some important protagonists / inside the Country Music lost. And before the same the most pleasant way of musically appealing "Fireflies" -Zusammenstellung: To hear this is not howling, screeching pseudo-violins. That feels good! And also the motto of recent years does not apply to the "Fireflies" CD: Everybody out, reminding even close to Country. With Faith Hill, one of the greats of the current Country Music, probably the turning point has been established. Passing the magic of green, blue and red in the Country Music!
Faith Hills performance sounds varied, mainly ballads bribe in the design and talk to. And you should stay too long with the song "We've Got Nothing But Love To Prove" is by no means. For that we are just not enough German Americans: In the German publication is "We've Got Nothing But Love To Prove" anyway not find. Three of the 13 songs were written by John Rich (of Big & Rich) - also the autobiographical "Mississippi Girl". Faith Hills Music is of course primarily geared to the American market and prepared accordingly - and we should rejoice us. And, accordingly, there are concessions to (especially US) Radio. Really cheesy pop in the style of the 40s, the "fireflies" are at the very end with "Paris" - but what does "pop-schmaltzy". "Paris" is certainly anything but country, is also no pop but simply American music. And then this: One of my deepest memories of the last 8 to 10 years is the beautiful duet "It's Your Love" with husband Tim McGraw. In "Like We Never Loved At All" - also written by John Rich - sings the couple-Hill McGraw common: They show you the ropes, he sings discreetly in the background.
