Evolution review

Pros:

* Valentine

* A Happy Girl

* A Broken Wing

 

Cons: None

I never would have thought that I would keep one compact disc in my player for a whole year without taking it out, but the truth is that it happened with Evolution.

From this album there were six total singles released to radio: "Still Holding On," a duet with Clint Black, "A Broken Wing," an empowering song about having a strong sense of self, "Valentine," a beautiful duet with pianist Jim Brickman; "Happy Girl," "Wrong Again," which there is also a beautiful acoustic version of floating around on another album, and "Whatever You Say," a tune that shows off Martina's vocal prowess.

It is amazing how such a voice can come from such a little body (which I am sure is why "I'm Little But I'm Loud" is at the very beginning of the album). Martina McBride could outsing any of her competition without even having to try and I only wish I could sound like her.
