Customer Reviews of House of Love
A very solid effort with little to fault Amy Grant went from Christian to pop in 1991 by releasing Heart in Motion and placing the single "Baby Baby" at the top of the charts. This album is an even better followup; it has its share of catchy pop tunes, such as "Lucky One" and "Say You'll Be Mine," and covers ("House of Love" and "Big Yellow Taxi") mixed with more meaningful tracks that pepper the rest of the album, the very reason to go out and buy this album (or any other Amy Grant album for that matter). Listen to the songs such as "Power," "Love Has a Hold on Me" and "Children of the World" - the lyrics have a very inspirational feel that brings Amy's Christian background in a more secular package. The musical arrangments for these songs are just as superb. The catchy pop tunes are a letdown by comparison (particularly "Say You'll Be Mine" which was a single in the UK), and the covers come in between. But these don't detract from the overall charm and listenability of the entire album; this album was at the top of my playlist for much of the mid-1990's.
This album is simply a huge dose of inspiration without in-your-face proselytization; while the fundamentalists will balk (along with Amy's very shift to secular music as well as divorce/remarriage), for everyone else this album represents a win-win. Just because Amy Grant happens to have a religous background and does not have the clout of the big-name divas does not mean you should overlook this album. This album is too good to be overlooked. This is *the* secular Amy album to buy, especially since I consider it better than Heart in Motion as well as Amy's latest effort, Behind His Eyes.
Decent album - some hits, some misses
Listening to this album by Grant you can't help but wonder if she wasn't singing quite a bit about her troubled relationship with husband Gary Chapman. (The two divorced in 1999).
Still, it's a solid album with a couple of great songs, a beautiful pro-life melody, and the pop hits that listeners have come to expect from Amy.
I could listen to the guitar on "Big Yellow Taxi" over and over and never tire of it. It's my favorite song on the album.
In "Children of the World" Amy gets some help from a children's choir. The refrain carries a hopeful message. It's nice to see that Amy hasn't departed from Christian themes altogether.
"For the children of the world Every single little boy and girl Heaven plants a special seed And we must have faith for these Red and yellow, black and white They are precious in the Father's eyes Like the Father may we see That they have a destiny And give them the light of love to lead"
Amy's Heart of Love shares joy and fun with all
I love this cd. I even have the video "Making the House of Love." Amy follows up "Heart in Motion" with her second pop album in excellent fashion. The songs are fun, upbeat, romantic, and danceable. This cd appeals to both young and old. The title track, Oh How the Years Go By, and Children of the World are my favorite songs on this cd. Amy and Vince do an incredible job on the duet "House of Love" and now they truly share a house of love in their personal life. Even though this is mostly a fun pop album, don't discount the power of the lyrics. Amy has some emotionally packed songs towards the second half of the cd.
