Tearing Down the Walls is the third studio album by American singer, actress and musician, E.G. Daily, which was released in 1999.
Tearing Down the Walls was Daily's first album since 1989's Lace Around the Wound, largely due to the fact she was no longer signed to a record label anymore. Instead, Daily focused on her successful voice acting career. Tearing Down the Walls did not contain the 1980s dance music, pop-rock style of her earlier material but a more acoustic-led pop-rock sound, with introspective, often confessional lyrics. Daily worked with Grammy-winning music veterans and producers Brad Gilderman and Harvey Mason, Jr. for the majority of the album, whilst "Pretty Baby" was produced by Bernie Larsen and Daily. It didn't garner any commercial success, however critical reception was favorable. To promote the album, Daily would perform live on July 18, 1999, at the Phoenix, Arizona stop of Sarah McLachlan's Lilith Fair, a travelling music festival tour that showcases the best in women's pop music.
In 2007 Daily went on "The Changing Faces Tour", which celebrated the Tearing Down the Walls album, as well as the launch of her first two albums - Wild Child and Lace Around the Wound – available on iTunes that May. Additionally the first single "Don't Even Care" was reported for release on June 13, 2007, and this single was mean to be serviced to Mainstream/Top 40/Hot AC radio. The album was released nationwide again on September 18 with exclusive bonus tracks. This version featured four additional tracks: "Home," "Earthlings," "Just for You" and "Tryin'". All songs were new material, although "Just for You" was a re-recorded version of the song that appeared on her 1985 debut album Wild Child. The original version was dedicated to Jon-Eric Hexum, Daily's boyfriend of the time, an American model and actor who died in late 1984 as a result of a firearms accident on the set of the CBS television series Cover Up in which he played the male lead.
The song "Breath of Heaven" is the album's only cover, and was first recorded by Christian music/pop singer Amy Grant from her 1992 album Home for Christmas. On October 23, 2007, Daily released the song as an MP3 single via her own label E.G. Daily Productions. "All I Want" was written by Daily and Grammy-winning writer/producer John Shanks.
