FamilyFans Music### The Darins The Darins
/ Pamplin Imagine a
Point-of-Grace-meets-Donna-Summer type of union and you’ve got a pretty good
picture of The Darins. Comprised of four sisters, this new group boasts
POG-style vocal harmonies overlaid on bass and guitar licks that could’ve come
straight from a 70s disco. The first
two songs on this self-titled CD especially merit that description—and are
subsequently my favorites. “I Realize” is a fun-n-funky ode to Christ’s
power to change lives. “All Along the Road” suffers from a growling
introduction, but soon transitions into an enjoyable pop offering. From
there, The Darins take their cue more from Point of Grace than Clinton, which
results in sugar-flavored melodies like “Only One” and “Believe.”
Anthems like “Crosses and Crowns” are respectable too, but vanilla in their
presentation—a disappointment given the promise evidenced on the rest of the
album. In all,
The Darins is a light treat of funky pop, with promise of even better things to
come from this foursome in the years ahead. --Mike Nappa ### |
