Lacey Strum New Album Out Soon

According to this article Lacey is set to release a solo album here soon (the article says February, but Jesusfreakhideout.com has it listed as the end of January). You can hear a new song on this link as well. I have to say I like it.

I will definitely be getting this!  I love her voice.

Amazon is showing that the CD will be released on February 12 and the vinyl (Hey, Jim!) on March 18.

I've the idea this is nothing for me.

Flyleaf's new singer also has a solo album coming out but it is very poppy.

I have to confess that I don't really dig Flyleaf with the new singer, so I probably won't be very excited about a solo album of hers either.

I don't know why some of you post you have no interest in something. All that does is irritate those who like it.

I only do it on occasion, and quite frankly I would rather have someone post and say something to the effect of "cool for you, but this isn't really my cup of tea"...rather than have the post completely ignored by absolutely everybody (which happens, especially to me).  This is a relatively small board (with an even smaller group of regular posters), I think we do a pretty decent job of not stepping over each other's personal tastes.  If my reply ticked you off I'm sorry, that certainly wasn't my intent.

I like Flyleaf with their new singer, but I far prefer Lacey.  I was hoping, though, that she'd do something more bluesy like the songs she did for that Billy Graham video a year or two ago.

I've only heard that one song for her new album, but it wouldn't surprise me if the album is an eclectic mix of styles (or maybe not) we will have to wait and see.

Let's hope so.  While she's got a great voice for the rock stuff, I think she should stretch herself a little with other styles.  If the album has a good mix of heavy rock and some soulful/bluesy stuff, this album could become something fans and critics love just because it would be, dare I say it, different than anything else in the CCM market.

Which is something the CCM market DESPERATELY needs.

Completely agree!

As do I.  Originality is seriously lacking in the music industry as a whole.  The CCM market, while smaller, should be demanding that artists make more art and not regurgitate everyone else's formula for a hit.

The new album was released last week!  I just ordered it from Amazon and it comes with the AutoRip feature.  So, I will be listening before the disc actually arrives.

This album is more like Flyleaf.  If you want to hear Lacey rock, then here it comes.

I just checked out the 30 second sound samples for all the tracks and it does sound a lot like Flyleaf a good mix of rockers along with some mellower tracks. Interesting to see her do a cover of the Police's "Roxanne".

Very much looking forward getting this in the mail. I requested this for review.

I have the download & it is a very good album. The heavier songs are great & the mellower songs are full of emotion. "You're Not Alone" is one of my favorites.
