"Baby Love" (1999)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Joan Osborne

It's been nearly four years since the soulful singer converted the faithless with the naive lyricism and delicate melody of ''One of Us.'' This single from the soundtrack to For Love of the Game finds Osborne unleashing her freewheeling, full-bodied alter ego. With its bluesy sax and woozy moans, ''Baby Love'' is far better suited to hell-raising than heaven-storming. Who says a little red-light revelry can't earn a girl her wings? B+
