House of Hope (album)


House of Hope is the second album by American singer/songwriter Toni Childs, released in 1991. It was Childs' second and final album for A&M.
The album's title track, "House of Hope," was included in the 1991 film Thelma and Louise, and appeared on the film's soundtrack album.
The album peaked at #115 on the Billboard charts.

Critical reception

People called it "a record nearly bereft of the colorful melodies and joint-jolting rhythms that distinguished Childs’s first outing." Trouser Press wrote that "the album raises more provocative questions than Union, but it misses that album’s celebratory quality."
