Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): Faith Hill - Selling Out To Sell Records.... . Faith Hill has been known (both celebrated and criticized) for testing the waters.  She has never "played it safe"...until now.    First of all, this disc seems like a poor defense and/or apology for "Cry".  "Cry" was a great album.  It may not have been commercially successful, but it was a very personal album.  Amy Grant also had this issue.  "Lead Me On", though not her most commercially successful, was her most intimate and personal album.  Kudos for baring your soul.  This is the function of an artist.    As for "Fireflies", most of the music and song selection seems geared at making sure Faith Hill gets played on country radio.  Still wounded from being eaten alive by critics who disliked "Cry", Faith has decided to duck back into the 'safety zone' and win back her conservative country audience.      The only problem I have with that is that Faith Hill shines best when she pushes the envelope; when she goes out on a limb and tries something distinctive that stands out.  Nothing on this CD stand out.  If the songwriting is at all great, (as with the title track, Stealing Kisses, and If You Ask) the vocals fall short of emotional depth.      I understand that Faith is a lot older now, and she has to compete with vocal powerhouses like Carrie Underwood, and songwriting geniuses like Miranda Lambert, but it seems gone are the days of "This Kiss" and "Breathe".  However... Faith Hill is facing a double dose of dilemnas: "Fireflies" is not selling as well as "Breathe" and "Faith" did, and more importantly, her country audience still isn't quite impressed with the "I-dyed-my-hair-and-hillbilly'd-up-for-you" image that Faith has unveiled
