Silver

Jennifer Dawn / 7k’ Records/Servant Music Distribution

 

Every so often an album comes along that’s gripping not just because of its music, but also because of the passion and transparency of its lyrical content. Jennifer Dawn’s third album, Silver, is one such album.

Sure the music is good. Dawn presents a radio-friendly, jazzy-pop sound with a classical piano influence that’s similar to Cindy Morgan (with an edge) or Nichole Nordeman. But it’s the addition of her personal lyrical style that separates this CD from an overpopulated pack of pop offerings.

Highlights here are easy to find. “I Need You Lord” is a soft-rock prayer with a marching beat that reminds how much we really need Jesus. “He is God,” is also entertaining, delivering in-your-face Christianity wrapped in a musical menagerie that includes acoustic piano, violin, electric guitar and a vocal blues style. And the love ballad to God, “I Believe in You” is hauntingly impressive.

In short, Silver is a solid effort from an artist who appears poised for a breakthrough in the Christian music scene. Recommend it with confidence.
