 "We take a look at (love) in so many different angles," the
34-year-old Grammy-winning country pop singer told Reuters.
"From giving it, receiving it, making it, standing up for it. I
think there's a softness about it but there is also this balance
of real power, inner power," she added.
The album, out on Friday, features songs inspired by Rimes' own
marriage, to actor Eddie Cibrian, and her family. "Learning Your
Language" is about her relationship with her husband while "Love
Lines" is about her two step-sons, Cibrian's children from his
first marriage.
"That song is very honest in the verses about kind of the
struggles of that - step-parenting," Rimes said. "I just wanted
them to know that's how I felt. And I'm good at communicating
that through music."

Rimes released her first album when she was 13, and has found
herself growing up in the spotlight, including her relationship with
Cibrian, which began when they both were married to other people and
became tabloid news.
"None of my life has ever been really private," she said.
"I think I had to go through everything that I've gone through to
make me understand and to have empathy and compassion and to be able
to write a record like this," she added.
