Music reviews of The Preacher's Wife: Original Soundtrack Album
Music Review: A diamond in the rough...
Rating: 4 Stars
That's what I'd call this release from Whitney Houston. The soundtrack to her last motion picture to date, I had bought it about 10 years ago to complete my Whitney Houston discography, only to feel that it was probably her worst album (I even thought Just Whitney was better!) But I listened to it the other day, and found that a lot of the material on this release is actually very good.
Some of my favorite songs on this are "I Believe in You and Me" (a sweet ballad that could be a great wedding song), "Step By Step" (irresistibly catchy), "I Go to the Rock" (the chorus gives me chills), "You Were Loved" (a beautiful and moving song that is my favorite on this album), and "Somebody Bigger than You and I" (a fantastic collaboration). But the album as a whole has a very uplifting feel to it, and just gives you faith when you're feeling down. I'm not a very religious person, but even I feel spiritual when hearing some of these songs.
Admittedly, though, Whitney sounds a bit detached throughout the duration of the album. To be honest, I think she did this more for the money than for the art of it. Also, gospel is a more esoteric genre of music than her pop/r&b/adult contemporary niche, which makes it hard to have as broad a fan base as her past material.
But still, if you give the album time to grow on you, you may find it to be one of the obscure classics of the 90s, even it was more about the money this time around. As for the movie, well, it's pleasant but it's no Gone With the Wind.
Description of The Preacher's Wife: Original Soundtrack Album
By this time in her career, Whitney Houston had a formula sound, and here she leans on it hard, surrounding herself with adult contemporary heavy-hitters like Diane Warren and Babyface. This wasn't the monster her previous records were, most notably The Bodyguard soundtrack, even though it seems to be an overt attempt at satisfying the same audience. Her voice is as crystalline as ever, but overall it seems a somewhat soulless effort, even though the themes are much more secular than she's braved before. --Scott WilsonMiscellaneous CDs
