Disco de Martina McBride: “Shine”

Martina has an amazing voice, which should come as no surprise to her many fans. Once again she delivers 100% quality in this album. Angels have wings...or beautiful voices. This is a keeper and might be a good first album for music lovers interested in today's finest country.

Shine is Martina's 10th album to date and she just keeps on getting better and better!

This album has a lot of electric guitars that really give it a great pop/rock sound.

It includes the current hit Ride which Martina belts out perfectly.Other catchy uptempos include Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong,Sunny Side Up and the edgy You're Not Leaving Me.

Of course there's also some ballads like the beautiful I Just Call You Mine and Lies.She sounds amazing on these.It also wouldn't be a Martina McBride album if there wasn't an 'issue' song included.The haunting Wild Rebel Rose deals with abuse.

One of the things that is fantastic about this album is how much Martina has experimented vocally.She's sounding better than ever!Walk Away and I'm Trying are just two examples of this.

If you like her older albums like Evolution and Emotion,you're going to love Shine.Definitely one of Martina's strongest work yet.Highly recommended!

I have been a fan for a long time, so I always look forward to anything that Martina puts out. This CD is in some ways very familiar, but in other ways quite different from her previous CDs. But the same powerful beautiful voice is always there. Her choice of songs is just excellent.

This CD is worth getting. You will play it over and over.

"Come'on now, everyone falls down, everyone crawls now and then...cry if you want to; that's what we all do...but if you think you'll never go on, you're wrong baby wrong..."

What a great way to open an album. I LOVE this song. It sang in my head for days on end, and lifted me up from little frustrations now and then. Just lovely. And this is just one of the many other amazing songs in this album. McBride's the true artist--she sings like she means it and you believe every word in every song she sings, be it happy, sad, angry, or just plain wonderin' about the world. Lovely. I highly recommend this album to any music lover. Don't be limited by the 'country' label--you don't need to love country music to love Martina McBride.

Several years ago I thought she would peak like most popular entertainers. But lucky for us, through dedication, raw talent and clean living she continues to bring us precious moments of her inspiring music. Every track on this beautiful album is a treasure. Her vocal range, perfect pitch and expression gives us songs that are are truly timeless.
