TOP 10 ALBUM OF 2007

The first single from Ruined For Ordinary, "Breakthrough" is an easy contender for "Song Of The Year" in my book and the video is one of the best I've seen since Jeremy Camp's 2005 video for "Take Your Back." Pair that with one of the most incredible artist transformations in recent memory (Remember his debut? You're not alone...) and you've got a pretty compelling reason to check out the sophomore release from Nate Sallie.
Nate proves he has vocal chops, song writing abilities, incredible charisma and enough passion to deliver and sell songs that are much bigger than him. There are not many artists that can outshine background choirs, huge orchestrations and building bridges that collapse into a whirlwind of a chorus. It's true that songs like "Let Go Of Me" and "What I Believe" are more like musical events than they are ordinary tracks. If Kirk Franklin was a pop singer, he might sound like this, weaving his way between punching piano transitions, brass explosions and rock elements.
If you're looking for an album that bucks the trend and delivers a unique experience, this is definitely it. View All Music And Book Reviews By KevinMcNeese_NRT | View KevinMcNeese_NRT's Profile
