And honestly, of course, I'm so glad to be 60 and not 30 again. Just visiting with the writers and the producers (has been a walk down memory lane). It’s as if you've opened up a treasure chest that is this album. In many ways, the re-release of this must be a fun walk down memory lane. A lot of us look back and that was kind of the first big pop thing to come out of Nashville and it just changed all of our lives. With the re-release, we've gone back and had conversations and recorded new conversations with different people (who were involved). I was working with two record companies and I just had a great team of people around me. It was great creative energy and creative comradery. We had all known each other for a long time. I was bouncing back and forth between these three studios. So even the making of the record just happened (in a unique way). It was the first time I'd ever worked with three producers instead of one. When you set out 30 plus years ago to write and record this album, did you have any idea that it was going to be such a watershed record career-wise for you?Ībsolutely not. I recently spoke to the thoughtful and reflective Grant about the album that defined a turning point in her legendary career, the health scare that led to a highly invasive surgical procedure, and the importance of her mentoring the next generation of up and coming musicians. Older, wiser, and fully recovered from open-heart surgery in 2020, she is thankful for the opportunity to perform her music for a new generation of listeners. To celebrate this career milestone, Grant will return to live audiences this fall with a 39 date concert tour that got under way on August 5 th. Along the way, the songs “Baby Baby”, “That’s What Love is For”, and “Every Heartbeat” fueled album sales in excess of five million. Six-time Grammy winner Amy Grant, a pioneer in contemporary Christian music, has just re-released her watershed album Heart in Motion, a recording that introduced her to a wider audience in 1991. A lot has changed on the contemporary Christian musical landscape over the last 30 years but one thing that endures are great songs and the memories that come with them.
