One of the stars of Nashville's country music in the 1990s,
Martina McBride also represented the artistic decline of that scene,
transforming rapidly from the
traditional country singer of The Time Has Come (1992) into the dramatic
performer of My Baby Loves Me and
Independence Day (both written by Gretchen Peters), off
The Way That I Am (1993),
and finally into the poppy faceless starlet of
Safe in the Arms of Love and Wild Angels, the hits from
Wild Angels (1995). From here it was all downhill (artistically speaking),
with songs like A Broken Wing and Wrong Again, off
Evolution (1997), that sounded like a thousand country-pop songs of
the past.
I Love You, off Emotion (1999), and
Blessed, off Greatest Hits (2001), were her last major hits.
Martina (2003), the cover album Timeless (2005),
Waking Up Laughing (2007), Shine (2009),
and
Eleven (2011) confirmed that she was utterly incapable of writing
music and a mediocre interpreter of other people's music.
