What The Critics Say
This album, There's No Stopping Your Heart, was original released in 1986, and then again in 1990. Lots of Marie Osmond fans grew up watching her on The Donny and Marie Show; others found her music when she began doing solo albums in the '70s. That little girl with a beaming smile and plenty of brothers is now a grown woman with a lovely voice and seven children of her own. The tunes on this album are simple country-pop, many with meaningful, and often touching, lyrics. The title track easily climbed to the top of the charts, followed all the way up by "Meet Me in Montana," a duet song with Dan Seals -- these two songs alone are worth the price of the album. They have plenty of excellent company though, including "Needing a Night Like This," "Blue Sky Shinin'," and "Love Will Find Its Way to You." This is a great album to play on those romantic evenings that call for low lights and a good wine. ~ Charlotte Dillon, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Though often overlooked by many music critics -- which might be one of the reasons why this album didn't receive much commercial backing -- Marie Osmond is a talented artist with an excellent voice. She proves that once again on this 1988 album, All in Love. The songs on this offering are country with a good double-sized helping of pop stirred into the mix, and this was recorded back before every other country singer was adding more pop style into his or her country numbers. "Raining Tears," "I'm in Love and He's in Dallas," "Without a Trace," and "Sweet Life" are some of the best songs on this album, the latter done as a duet with Paul Davis. ~ Charlotte Dillon, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
There are ten tracks on this Marie Osmond album, I Only Wanted You. It was originally issued on the Capitol Records label in 1987, and then released on compact disk by Curb in late 1990. This offering is filled with terrific country-pop fare instead of traditional country twang. There are still some ballads to enjoy here, like "I Know the Feeling," "Cry Just a Little," and "More Than Dancing," as well as a number of upbeat tunes such as the toe-tapping fan favorite "Everybody's Crazy 'Bout My Baby." You'll find the expected guitar and bass on these songs, and the not so expected saxophone and drums. All in all, this is a pleasing mix of tunes and a really nice Marie Osmond recording to add to any country music collection. ~ Charlotte Dillon, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Marie Osmond is no longer the sweet, shy little girl who many knew as the baby sister of the Osmond family of boys. She grew up to be a beautiful woman and a gifted singer, as well as a talented actress who has landed roles in several made-for-television movies. On this recording, she lends her vocal skills to numbers like "Slowly But Surely," "Help Me Get Over You," "What's in It for Me," "Let Me Be the First," "What's a Little Love Between Friends," and "Love Speaks Louder Than Words." With this release, Marie Osmond steps a little away from the pop-heavy country she normally leans toward, for a little more straight country sound. Steppin' Stone was the fifth solo album she completed. As you can tell by the titles listed above, it is in many ways an album full of songs about love -- about love lost, love found, love gone wrong, and the hope and wishes of love to be. ~ Charlotte Dillon, All Music Guide
