What If Everyone Made Music Like This? |
Brandon Heath's light, familiar style is on display on this album. Heath's strength is combining poppy tunes with deep lyrics. "What If We" is a prime example of this talent.
In "Give Me Your Eyes" Heath asks God for the vision to see those around him, including the downtrodden, poor, and brokenhearted. It is the lead single from the album, and is a refreshing break from "me" centered Christianity. "Wait and See" is a little biographical, with Heath reminding himself that God has a plan for his life. "Trust You" is especially revealing, describing all of our reasons for not trusting God. It is honest to the core: "Are you growing weary/of all my good intentions/'cause I know that/you don't work that way." "Sore Eyes" sounds like the Monkees converted to Christianity, but is deep and meaningful. "Love Never Fails" is a beautiful acoustic track stacked with violins.
This is a great album. It has depth and soul without being sappy. You can almost feel Heath's self-deprecating humor seep through the tracks. I recommend buying this CD.

Great music by an up and coming artisit. |
|
Song 1 is one of the best Christian songs to come out in a long time. The balance is the album is also good. There are a few tracks that are just ok, but there are at least 4 or 5 great songs on this album. |

Great 2nd Album by Brandon Heath |
Brandon Heath, fresh off his surprising win as Best New Artist Dove Award Winner 2008, entered the studio to record his 2nd album What If We, released in August. Buoyed by the great success of the stand-out single Give Me Your Eyes, released over the summer, Brandon followed his own path as with his stand-out single I'm Not Who I Was, from his solid debut album Don't Get Comfortable, from 2006. If you like Bebo Norman, Matthew West and Mat Kearney, then you should truly enjoy Brandon Heath.
What If We is a great 2nd album and a slight improvement in my opinion, which is refreshing. In addition to the amazing opener Give Me Your Eyes, the album continues in the same personal and introspective way as his first album. The next 2 songs Wait And See and Trust You are great examples of Brandon's autobiographical and catchy writing style. Some stand-out songs of the album happen next with London and Sunrise, which remind me of catchy and personal songs by fellow Dove Award Winner Chris Rice like Me & Becky and When Did You Fall.
For me the highlights come later in the album, particularly the beautiful and biblical Love Never Fails, certainly a great choice for weddings and the closing song No Not One, written with Christy Nockels (Watermark). Both songs have great sweeping string musical arrangements and beautiful lyrics and melodies. This is truly a great 2nd album by Brandon Heath and just misses my top 10 of 2008.
