SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:29 Min.
Kenny Loggins recorded this sentimental ballad for 1996’s One Fine Day comedy, which stars Michelle Pfeiffer & George Clooney. Notably, it’s among the album’s few original songs.
REVIEW:
While its mellow instrumentals are classy, Kenny Loggins faces the task of surpassing the mushy 70’s/Early ‘80s-style love song lyrics. In that sense, this gentle tune is reminiscent of his 1994 kid-friendly album, Return to Pooh Corner. The song isn’t romantic pap per se, but it won’t conjure up a rollicking Loggins delivering other movie hits like “Danger Zone,” “Footloose,” or “I’m Alright.”
If anything, “For the First Time” is meant for fans of Air Supply and Barry Manilow, among similar pop favorites during their prime.
