Natalie Grant – Hurricane

Natalie Grant, one of CCM’s most prolific and compelling female artists of the last decade or so, releases her brand new 2013 album ‘Hurricane’ on October 15th, featuring the hit single ‘Hurricane’, and other standouts like ‘For All Of Us’, ‘Burn Bright’ and ‘Closer to Your Heart’. Here is the review.

The Hawk In Paris – Freaks

The dream of the 80’s is alive in Nashville. That’s what the new Hawk In Paris album would lead me to believe anyway. Creating a fusion between his Jars of Clay tunes, Depeche Mode, and some Mutemath flair, Dan Haseltine forms a sound that is currently unmatched in the music industry. It is true that many music critics say that the 80’s were a bad decade for music, however, The Hawk In Paris show us that this influence can be beneficial.

Gayle Skidmore – Sleeping Bear

As I am sure you know, art can be expressed in many different forms. Artists can be defined as musicians, actors, painters, baristas, costume designers, carpenters, beat poets, and many more titles. In theatre, there are certain talented actors that can be identified as “Triple Threats” (possessing the skills of singing, acting and dancing). While singer-songwriters are quite common in the music industry, Gayle Skidmore can be identified as far more than that.
