May 062012

from LOVE WILL ALWAYS WIN

written Steve Diamond & Dennis Morgan

“Let Me Let Go” is a country/pop ballad included in Faith Hill’s 1998 album “Faith.” Produced by Hill with Dann Huff, “Let Me Let Go” was also a #1 single on the Country charts in the Spring of 1999 and reached #33 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Given the song’s appeal, “Let Me Let Go” was also given to David Foster who re-recorded it adding his trademark adult contemporary flavor. He eventually included it on his soundtrack for the movie “Message In The Bottle.” Foster’s remix was also included on the international edition of the “Faith” album entitled “Love Will Always Win.”
