The female-fronted Addison Road has it the
major LP big time. After 2 indie records and an EP the Texas
band filled with upbeat and rhythm tries their hands at a major album. With a talented backing in the music department, sounds
of which have never been heard before, Jenny’s soft, but powerful voice sets off the songs. The album begins with an
upbeat track with straight forward lyrics. It offers a steady flow of music and vocals. “This Could Be Our Day”
is a very nice start to the album and it really could be the bands “Day” in the spotlight. “All That Matters”
is a really nice track. It flows really well and is surely to be a hit. The beat is easy to get into and it is a great sing-a-long
song. “Sticking With You” is another upbeat track with high flying guitars in the beginning that shifts to the
outstanding vocals of Jenny. This may be the star of the album! “Hope Now” is the first slower track on the album,
with deep lyrics and soft dramatic vocals. “Start Over Again” is another track with deep, heart clinching lyrics.
Talks of getting back up with you get knocked down will inspire anyone. “It Just Takes One” will stick with you
because of the music. It’s funky but not over done and the addition of backing vocals will make this song a favorite
on stage. “Run” it growing track. It has the great lyrics, catchy guitar picking and backing vocals that after
8 track we have come accustomed to, but it also has a deep meaning that must be listened to over and over again to get the
entire message. Overall this is a superb debut major release. It has very catch music at every turn, great messages woven
throughout, and amazing vocals. This is definitely an album Christian rock fans with enjoy.
