What makes Walk on Water by Katrina and the Waves notable?

'Walk on Water' is notable for its lead single 'Love Shine a Light', which became a significant hit, reaching the top of the charts in several countries. The album's optimistic sound and themes resonated during a time of social change, and it helped solidify Katrina and the Waves' legacy in the pop genre, despite not achieving the same level of acclaim as their earlier work. Released in 1997, 'Walk on Water' was Katrina and the Waves' fifth studio album, coming after their 1995 album 'The Whole of the Moon'. This period marked a transition as the band sought to regain commercial success following a decline in popularity post their hit 'Walking on Sunshine'. The album reflects their attempt to blend catchy pop sensibilities with new wave influences.
