Really good Album
Posted March 26, 2011
By justink,
It normally takes me a few listens to get used to Shawn's album. When I heard the first single, Closer, I immediately loved it. The piano intro was beautiful- his subdued vocals were stellar (as always) and the lyrics- although the theme is alittle overused in CCM- were heartfelt and you could tell that it was a true heartfelt prayer- not just a disconnected song that the artist would sing just to seem relatable to his listeners. This cat lives what he sings. You can tell.
The instrumentation in this album is alittle quirky but I love it. Mr. McDonald has a way of coming up with some fresh melodies that instantly capture your attention (HOPE). The use of strings sets him a part- and they are stunning- stuff I would love to have an instrumental of.
Control was the only song that I thought was odd- the vocals are strange- although I like them in the chorus.
It's worth picking up. Very easy listening. Best songs: Closer, Hope, The Space In Between Us, Mystery
