John David Webster - Made To Shine |
Excellent example of commercial Christian(CCM) styled rock with a strong power pop flavor. As is usually the case with much of the CCM world, it`s a big, full flourished produced affair with a bit too much production sheen(but many folks prefer too much to too little, certainly) but the guy writes some outstanding songs here and most of them are wrought from the fires of solid melodies in the vein of Gavin DeGraw, Saul Zonana and Aaron Sprinkle. "4 1/2 stars.. Webster clearly has a gifted ear for classic rock and catchy songwriting on this impressive and infectious national debut. ..Webster`s words are uncomplicated and faith-based without relying on clich. But like Smith, his greatest strengths are melody and performance. He excels at constructing catchy melodies, suitably varying the sound of each song so that even the weaker songs are memorable. And his impressive pop/rock voice combines the powerhouse qualities of Schultz and John Elefante-check out those rock yowls on "Come Alive." Displaying much promise and skill as a new artist and songwriter, John David Webster is likely be remembered as one of the year`s best on both counts."-ChristianityToday.
