Another Journal Entry is the second studio album released by the Christian pop/rock group BarlowGirl. The album was released on September 27, 2005. Two of the songs are covers: "Enough" was originally sung by Chris Tomlin, while "No One Like You" was originally sung by the David Crowder Band. "Never Alone", a single from their debut album, additionally appears in an acoustic mix.
Background
[edit | edit source]BarlowGirl published the lyrics for "Thoughts of You" on its website on June 4, 2003, with the lyrics featuring a different order compared to the final version. Of the eight songs listed on the site, it is the sole to be included on Another Journal Entry, as five were included on BarlowGirl and two remain unreleased to this day.[11]
Promotion
[edit | edit source]The band's cover of "Enough" by Chris Tomlin was first included on the Absolute Modern Worship compilation album on January 25, 2005, several months ahead of the album's release.[12] This cover would also later be released as a radio single in 2006.
The week of the album's release, its lead single, "Let Go", was made available for free download as the iTunes Store's Single of the Week. Additionally, the iTunes Store's edition of the album included an exclusive dance mix of "Never Alone",[13] while Family Christian Stores' edition included a bonus disc with audio commentary from the band.[14]
Reception
[edit | edit source]In 2006, the album was nominated for a Dove Award for Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year at the 37th GMA Dove Awards. The song "Let Go" was also nominated for Rock Recorded Song of the Year.[15] By August 4, 2007, the album sold 278,000 copies in its various editions.[16]
Expanded edition
[edit | edit source]An expanded edition was released on August 29, 2006. It added a recording of the hymn "For the Beauty of the Earth"; an alternate mix, subtitled the "Nativity Version", was included on the soundtrack of the film The Nativity Story. It became a top 20 hit on the Christian adult contemporary chart following its radio release on December 15, 2006.[17]
This edition also added three acoustic tracks, previously exclusive to Sony Connect, and a radio edit of "Never Alone", removing 20 seconds of instrumentals from the album version. The disc also includes the music video for "Never Alone", which features the unedited song in a low-definition QuickTime version.[18] A "Fan Pack" variant of the expanded edition was also released, bundling a bonus More Than Music book and BarlowGirl sticker with the album.
