But for those who are still looking for more, there is Lara Landon - whose debut album, Beloved, brings one word to mind: Depth.

Beloved from the start| Posted September 21, 2009
Beloved, the Debut release from Lara Landon, is, like most beloved things, a thing of beauty. This release is all about the vocals, and Lara's voice is showcased here with minimal embellishment. Most of the songs here are piano centric with strings. Her voice, delicate yet powerful reminds me a lot of Tiffany Arbuckle Lee (aka Plumb), and some songs have an Iona feel. Great pluses in my book. Her range is best showcased on songs such as I Believe, For You Lord and Lift Me Up.
For a Debut, Beloved is great. It isn't perfect, but most debut albums aren't. I look forward to hearing great things from this talented vocalist in the future.
