Simply Amazing

By awakeandalive,
So I had never heard of Addison Road until the beginning of this year when I moved out from under a very difficult family situation and into my youth pastor's house. He and his wife introduced me to this band and at first I thought, "Ehh well its not quite my style." But Jenny's vocals still captured me. Since then it has been months and months of trial after trial "fighting another day". And the stories I've had since then are nothing short of tragedies, new hope and miracles; and this is why this album really is so great because of how raw and genunie it is, even with its touch of pop influence. Jenny's voice is almost like a mix of Hayley Williams's (Paramore) soulful sound with Lacey Mosley's (Flyleaf) intimate raw talent. Each song flows well into the other one and the lyrics are a major highlight because while they may not be the "deepest" lyrics, the way in which they are conveyed makes the listener feel apart of the band's own "Stories." The only somewhat negative thing is that its a little short, but considering what has happened with them in the past two years its not a complaint; moreso it just proves how good the album is because it left me wanting even more. So this is a definite buy. Even if its not quite your style its a great album to relax too and contemplate your walk with Christ, knowing He is with you through it all. God bless Addison Road :) View All Music And Book Reviews By awakeandalive | View awakeandalive's Profile
