Falling Forward (Margaret Becker album)

Falling Forward is the eighth release by Sparrow Records for Margaret Becker. The collection of 11 songs was released in April 1998.^[1] It marked a significant change from synth-driven pop to a more acoustic, soulful approach. Allmusic.com Reviewer Melinda Hill states,

"Falling Forward is catchy and hypnotic. Becker leaves pure pop behind, bringing in electric guitars and a more alternative sensibility. The songs have taken on a new depth, unafraid to hit on the difficult things, ... Falling Forward ranks among the best that CCM has to offer, and is a wonderful new beginning for Becker"^[2]

CCM Magazine in its review of the album, writes, "Falling Forward paints a picture of life with all of its colors: some happy, some sad, some gut-wrenchingly painful, some tears-inducingly joyful."^[1]
