Reba continues to finds great songs, and says her new single “Until You Don’t Love Someone” is a song she thinks a lot of people can relate to.
And her previous #1 ITunes single, “Going Out Like That” was voted by fans as the #1 song of the summer, via Taste Of Country.com
Songs that make an impact are what the Grammy winner is famous for. And as Reba recalls, one that stands out to her became somewhat of an anthem in 1992.
She commented, “A lot of songs make a huge difference in people’s lives, especially ‘Is There Life Out There’…”

Reba – Power of a song (Is There Life Out There) :18
“Women would stand up in the audience as I’m singing, with their high school diploma, GED or a college diploma. Because when they got their children raised they went back and got their education because of that song. They told me that in fan club letters, at meet and greets that it really changed their lives. Music is very powerful.”
