Faith Hill, 'American Heart' Has Soul

The long wait for new Faith Hill music is almost over! At last year's CMA Music Awards, the songstress premiered "Come Home," the first song from her yet-to-be-released seventh studio album. Now, almost a year later, the second single from the project, "American Heart" is headed to country radio, for airplay beginning Oct. 1. The midtempo tune tells the story of a struggling protagonist who survives by the strength of her faith in the American dream:

"It beats like a drum down in New Orleans / Sings like a Motown melody / It dreams like California / Bigger than a Texas sky / It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard / You can't break an American heart."

"American Heart" will be featured on the upcoming album that is rumored to share a title with "Illusion," the song Faith performed as part of the recent CMA Music Festival special on ABC.

"This album, more than any I've made in the past, definitely infuses more gospel-soul into the sound," the superstar singer tells The Boot of the project, which still doesn't have an official release date. "Country music is very soulful music, so it's always been that way a little bit, but I definitely dug a little deeper in my Mississippi soul for this record."

Fans heading out to Las Vegas this winter to see Faith and her husband, Tim McGraw, perform their Soul 2 Soul shows at the Venetian will likely hear "American Heart" and some other new songs firsthand. The country couple's residency on the strip begins Dec. 7.

Faith Hill does not have to sound country or pop,it is just Faith at her best and I cannot wait for her new album. and she has millions of fans who have waited for her to come back. by the way she is 45 and looks great for her age. same age as her handsome husband,Tim. she kept her name because her career got started with that name and her husband Tim of 16 years does not mind at all.

I listen to Country Music because I want to hear Country Music. Not pop! Faith Hill does NOT sing country, or sound country. I think she wants to be a Pop Singer but uses the Country stage to push her Pop agenda. She is getting close to 50 and I am sure it is hard for her to compete with Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert or Carried Underwood all in their 20's. We dont hear Patti Loveless anymore, or Brenda Lee, or Crystal Gayle, or Barbara Mandrell, or JoDee Messina. So why at this late stage of her career does Faith Hill want to shove Pop songs down our throats? I dont think it will further her career, in fact quite the opposite. And I still wonder why Faith Hill still uses the last name of her FIRST husband, Dan Hill? Yes, she was married to him for 7 years but he is gone. Shouldnt she be Faith McGraw?

With Faith back, hopefully the vocal standards will return too! Tired of the off key "singers" creeping into country music. It will be nice to have her back, she was missed!

Actually more and more people prefer to hope his or her lover comes from another age group, if you want to find a charming woman or handsome guys, seekacougar is absolutely a good club for you, please don’t hesitate and just try the on-line dating right now and you would fall into the age-gap romance without delay.
