1991 Julia Fordham – Swept
Swept is the third album by English singer-songwriter Julia Fordham, released in late 1991. It includes Fordham’s biggest UK hit single, “(Love Moves in) Mysterious Ways”.
“I Thought It Was You” was released as the first single from the album in August 1991, reaching number 64 in the UK Singles Chart. After the album’s initial release in the UK and Japan, Fordham was invited to record “(Love Moves in) Mysterious Ways” for the film The Butcher’s Wife. Swept was swiftly released internationally to include “Mysterious Ways,” aligning with the US release of the film. While the movie flopped, “Mysterious Ways” became Fordham’s biggest hit single in the UK, reaching number 19 in 1992. Subsequently, “I Thought It Was You” was re-released in a remixed version, which reached number 45 on the charts.
