Faith (In the Power of Love)


"Faith " is a song by Zambian-born singer Rozalla. It was released in November 1991 as the third single from the album, Everybody's Free. The single first charted in the United Kingdom in April 1991, reaching No. 65. The single was, however, re-released in November of that year after the success of her previous single, "Everybody's Free ", peaking this time at No. 11. The song met with similar success throughout the rest of Europe, although some countries skipped this release in favour of her next single "Are You Ready to Fly". The song did not see a release in the United States until 1993, when it peaked at No. 4 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Critical reception

editor William Cooper wrote that Rozalla "manages to squeeze in more house-oriented grooves" on the song. Larry Flick from Billboard called it "yet another potential No. 1 hit. Song-wise, this is far more satisfying in melodic structure and lyrical content than the previous "Are You Ready To Fly." Its anthemic stance is given depth by a vocal that is not nearly as over the top as in the past." Fact put "Faith " at 20 in their list of 21 diva-house belters that still sound incredible in 2014. They wrote, "Never a massive pop hit like ‘Everybody's Free’, and yeah alright, this one is pretty high in sugar – but go on, give yourself up to it and revel in the fact there was a period of pop culture when these lyrics were not only acceptable but normal."
