AMG Review of Real Life

All Music Guide

Word Records released singer and songwriter Cindy Morgan's debut album Real Life in 1992. The project, which greatly differs from her later CCM and jazz-influenced albums such as Listen and The Loving Kind, is a combination of Christian pop, adult contemporary, and R&B. Upon the release of Real Life, Morgan was primarily marketed as a dance music diva, very much the Christian alternative to Paula Abdul. While Real Life features notable songs including "Let It Be Love," "It's Gonna Be Heaven," and "How Could I Ask For More," it does not reflect the true musical style of Morgan. Her strengths, both vocally and musically, are better showcased subsequent projects.
