Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic (4.5/5)[1] Mountain High... Valley Low is an album by gospel singer Yolanda Adams released by Elektra Records. Several singles were released from Mountain High. The set lead with the Warryn Campbell-produced "Yeah", which was co-written by gospel duo Mary Mary who springboarded from the song to gain their own fame. The most notable single was the second release, "Open My Heart", which became a massive crossover fixture on R&B radio. Both of the singles had accompanying music videos. Remixers like Maurice Joshua, Digital Black-N-Groove, Pound Boys, and Junior Vasquez were brought in to turn both of these songs into dance club-friendly material. "The Things We Do" and "Fragile Heart" were also serviced to radio and fared well on adult contemporary stations. The album stands as Adams' best-selling to date, having sold more than 2,135,000 copies and being certified 2X Platinum by the RIAA.[2]
