House of Hope is the second album by American singer/songwriter Toni Childs, released in 1991. [3] It was Childs' second and final album for A&M.
The album's title track, was included in the 1991 film Thelma and Louise , and appeared on the film's soundtrack album.
People called it "a record nearly bereft of the colorful melodies and joint-jolting rhythms that distinguished Childs’s first outing." [4] Trouser Press wrote that "the album raises more provocative questions than Union, but it misses that album’s celebratory quality." [5]
All songs written by Toni Childs and David Ricketts except where noted.
