Advantages: Lyrics, Songs, Disadvantages: Too many "slow" tempo tracks
...This album was produced after the death of her first husband Christopher Wallace (aka Notorious B.I.G) The vibe and lyrics of this album are totally different to those on the first album. Here the songs are more inspirational and more chilled out, more emotional, however this doesn't mean it is not still a good album. The intro and interludes are still present on this album, which I was happy about. Of her first three albums, this is my favourite.
1. FAITH INTRO - Faith carries on her tradition of intros. I think sounds similar to the intro of FaithEvans. She sings "Don't you know I have the faith, to conquer anything" I think this line inclines listeners to think she's talking about the death of her husband.
2. LOVE LIKE THIS - After that gentle music from the interlude, we jump straight into a dance track. Most people will know...

Advantages: Find yourself singing along to songs that you dont like Disadvantages: none
...and relaxing, but the lyrics are very loving. I can't describe what it is but all I can say is that its works and its brilliant. The perfect end to a great first album.
From this album, and from the others, I believe FaithEvans is one of the most under-rated artists who doesn't get the recognition she deserves, hopefully that will all change because she is someone who people should be watching out for....

...Faith Hill and Shania Twain are always being compared when the truth is they are nothing alike. This album proves it perfectly.
Although Faith doesn't write her own songs, she still manages to perform with magnificant emotion, as if the song was personally hers.
This album is mainly known for the singles 'This Kiss' and 'Let Me Let Go' but there are so many others thats are better.
'Love Aint Like That' is a simple, but fantastic love song. The lyrics are good and the way Faith sings is fantastic.
'My Wild Frontier' is a touching account of a woman losing her lover. Faith sings this song with such emotion it hard to hold back the tears. The lyrics and hard work put into this song is evident in Faiths portrayal, you feel like Faith is actually singing from a past experience.
'Stand By Me' is a song about losing faith, when everything...
