Falling Forward is the fourth album by English singer-songwriter Julia Fordham, released in 1994. The album includes the singles “Different Time, Different Place”, “I Can’t Help Myself”, and “Hope, Prayer & Time”. The title track is my favourite.
“I spent a bit of time up front with this record, demo-ing at home beforehand and trying different vocal techniques,” she said. “I felt the kind of material I was doing on ‘Porcelain’ and ‘Swept’ needed the kind of approach that was more intimate.”
“For the most part, the songs are autobiographical, but I think I’m more of an observer,” she said. “I see things happening to myself and other people and write about them. That seems to be my niche. It still intrigues me, I’m not bored with it yet, even though there’s plenty of uplifting, get-in-touch-with-your-soul kinds of songs on this album.”
