Hearts Of Fire

Hearts of Fire is Power Ballad at their absolute peak—fifteen tracks, a two-part epic in "Walther P-38," and the song that changed everything: "Power Love," Cade Maverick's duet with a rising star named Chloe Love. It spent 43 weeks at number one and became so enormous that Maverick would eventually pull it from shelves just to escape its shadow.

Everything before this record was Power Ballad building toward something. Everything after it was Power Ballad trying to live up to it.
