About 3 of Hearts (album) in brief
3 of Hearts is an eponymous debut studio album by American girl group 3 of Hearts. It was released on March 6, 2001, through the record label RCA Nashville. The album peaked at number 45 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. Two singles were released and made appearances on the Country Airplay Billboard chart. Reviews of the album were mixed; some critics praised the group’s vocals and public image, but others criticized the songs as generic and lacking an authentic country sound. The group performed on two national tours sponsored by Seventeen magazine and Walmart respectively, and the singers were featured in several marketing campaigns. RCA dropped the group after the album’s low sales and lack of appeal to country radio audiences led to a lawsuit against singer-songwriter Kenny Rogers. A settlement was reached in 2003, but the terms of the agreement were not disclosed to the public. Three of Hearts members Blaire Stroud, Katie McNeill, and Deserea Wasdin first performed together at a funeral, where they sang the hymn “He Leadeth Me”. They had each performed independently at various venues and aspired to pursue music as a career.
The trio recorded the songs in the Tennessee studios Essential Sound and Ocean Nashville in the later half of 2000. The music was mixed at the Emerald Sound Studios in Nashville, and mastered in Hollywood. The opening track features lyrics about the importance of love, an instrumental provided by a fiddle, and a nearly interchangeable mid-tempos. Songs include “Baby, That’s The Way – which interprets the true message of love through the message of true, love, and fiddle-squared, Boyz II Men-style ballads. The song “Just Might Change Your Life” was featured on the soundtrack for the film Where the Heart Is. The album has a focus on a style of country music similar to that of American band the Dixie Chicks. The instrumentals include fiddles and drums, which Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic has noted are commonly used in country music. Several music critics have noted that the trio’s music does not fit with the more loose-gygy scene of their home state of Texas.
