Emotion Review

 

Unknown source, 1999

 

"One of the most powerful voices in modern country." - Q Magazine (UK)

 

She's an electrifying performer who can enthrall any audience - country, pop or rock - with her direct, impassioned delivery. But perhaps Martina McBride is best-loved for her fierce independence - her greatest songs embrace and explore themes of personal empowerment.

 

On her latest release, she strips ballads and barn-burners to their bare, soulful core. With the jangly crossover samsh I Love You (heard in the film "Runaway Bride"); down-but-not-out anthem Anything's Better Than Feelin' The Blues; Patty Griffin's melancholy-drenched Good Bye and more, Martina delivers "Emotion" straight to the heart.
