1995 Jennifer Love Hewitt – Let’s Go Bang
Let’s Go Bang is the second studio album by American actress and singer Jennifer Love Hewitt. It was released by Atlantic Records on September 12, 1995. It is also the first Hewitt album distributed by Atlantic. The producer, Angelo Montrone, had noticed her musical talents and brought her to the attention of then CEO of Atlantic Records, Doug Morris who then signed her. The album was received with enthusiasm by several program directors at pop radio, however, with the departure of Doug Morris from Atlantic in 1995 the plans for promotion were canceled which led to the album’s commercial failure, failing to chart on the US Billboard 200.
