- I got the feeling that Amy intended to release the Song "Ask Me", but
- something stopped it's release. The song is very worthy of radio airplay,
- and was even on the sticker of the Album (The Little one that says Featuring
- the hits:Baby Baby, That's what Love is For, etc...).
-
- I, being the total Amy Grant fan, do not feel that she has sold out. Nor
- has Michael W. Smith. Their personal devotion to Christ and his message
- is totally exident in conversation with them. Amy has, as she said
- "Put out an album of music that my nieces and nephews would listen to."
- This being her goal, I am more that sure she attained it.
-
- The music may be secular in it's aim, but it is positive "pop", much better
- than a lot of the music kids are listening to in these times that we live.
- Without any heavy undertones, Amy and Michael's music conveys happiness!
- Something that all parents should be more that willing to let their
- children enjoy.
-
- Even thought her albums are main stream, there is still a message in her
- madness. Songs like "Ask Me" and "Hope set High" on the Heart in Motion
- album convey the love and care that Christ has for all of us. These songs
- have reached every buyer of her #1 album. PRAISE GOD!
