Signed to the Reunion Record label in the late '80s, Renee Garcia had proved herself as an adept singer as a backing vocalist, most notably with Amy Grant's band but stepped into the spotlight with 'Living In The Vertical' in 1987. The following year she followed up with this Chris Eaton produced slice of pop funk. Obviously the production is solidly '80s with its keyboard driven sound but what makes this album work is the fact that the songs really stand up. So highlights include the groovy "Victim Of Circumstance" and the danceable "Perfection" as well as the closing "I Will Never Leave You". Topping everything are Garcia's tasty vocal performances which remind you that she was a class act!

I remember this top bgv vocalist for top ccm artist , Amy
Grant in a concert at Hershey Park PA during Amy's
Unguarded Tour. I just love the Chris Eaton song
"Perfection"; Renee did a great job!:this song is quite the
top stand out song! Chris also provided 3 other songs plus
produced the album/cd. CCM artist Glenn Garrett was a
co-writer for the title track starter song. Lines in
"Jerusalem" is in the heart of every believer today;"YOU
will come again, &
YOU'LL take me away, I can't wait for that day!" I luv
Renee's pop/soulful recording on "If I Have To"; a song
Chris Eaton wrote 6 years earlier. The cd closer,
"I Will Never Leave You" has hit written all over it; it is
a top ccm quallity song! wtg Renee!! Another top bgv for Amy
Grant also, Chris Rodriguez also adds his
bgvs for songs: Wow! a reunion of 3 top Amy Grant
bgvs for a recording project. Great job Chris Eaton!!
GOD Bless! - Don
