Stupid Love (album)

Stupid Love is the fourth album by American singer-songwriter Mindy Smith, released in 2009 on Vanguard Records. The songs were written over a two-year period and the sound of the album moves away from country and closer to that of a pop record. Country artist Vince Gill provides harmony vocals on the track “Telescope” while Amy Grant adds vocals to "Couldn't Stand the Rain". Stupid Love was co-produced by Mindy along with Ian Fitchuk and Justin Loucks.
