The album was nominated for a Grammy in 2001. Lewis was previously nominated for her contribution to the Kirk Franklin song "Lean On Me" in 1998.[1] Fearless takes a decidedly more mainstream approach to the artists sound, incorporating elements of both electronica and R&B in many of the songs. The album includes the Kirk Franklin-penned "I Still Believe" which previously made its first appearance on a Touched by an Angel Christmas soundtrack album. Most of Fearless features drumwork by Vinnie Colaiuta. The ballad "Trust Me" features background vocals from R&B singer Rahsaan Patterson.[2] Christian rappers T-Bone and J-Raw (of Priesthood) appear on the song "What a Fool I've Been". The song "Only Fools" is a newer version from the original one from the album Remember.
