In 2007 Britt Nicole blasted onto the Christian music scene with her critically acclaimed album Say It. Produced by famed producer Tedd T. (Stacie Orrico, Rebecca St. James) the album with its slick pop tunes became one of the hottest selling albums of that year, driven by the hit singles “You” and “Set the World On Fire”.
Now in 2009, Britt comes back her highly anticipated sophomore album, The Lost Get Found. Starting off with the #1 hit title track that has been riding the airwaves like a surfboard, “The Lost Get Found” is a mid-tempo, poised song about finding Christ. “How We Roll” starts the party with its sizzling dance beats and catchy acoustic guitar. “Safe”, co-written by Joy Williams, starts slow, but builds into a rock ballad that lets Britt’s vocals soar beautifully.
“Hanging On” is a pop ballad with a simple, yet lovely melody and smooth beat. Very refreshing and relaxing. One of my two favorites, “Headphones” starts out with a cute piano vamp that turns into a plethora of fizzy programming sound effects and drum beats. The song is unbelievably catchy and has a great message. The perfect summer song. Up there with “Party In the USA” by Miley Cyrus as my top 2 songs of the summer. “Welcome to the Show” starts off with a vintage, classy intro and dives right into the hottest dance song on the album. Britt belts out the chorus, which is perfect for head-banging. Perfect for fans of Lady GaGa or The Veronicas.
“Walk On Water” is a beautiful CCM-esque song that is driven by a very feminine piano melody. “Glow” brings the party back, but fails to bring what “Headphones” and “Welcome to the Show” delivered. Its in no means bad, but it doesn’t have that “umph”. “Like A Star” is my other favorite off the album. The entrancing pop beat and psychedelic sound effects make for the perfect song for a homecoming dance under the stars.
“Feel the Light” and “Have Your Way” end the album beautifully, with strong vocals and great messages. Overall, Britt gets an A+ from me. A lot of people have said she sound too similar to Krystal Meyers’ Make Some Noise, but honestly, I feel that this album is even better than Krystal’s. And everyone knows how much I was obsessed with that album. I think this could be the summer album of 2009. Phenomenal. View All Music And Book Reviews By LampaFan | View LampaFan's Profile
