What a beautiful album, that statement sums up everything about this album. Do I really need a review after that? I suppose not, that whole statement says everything, but what kind of site would we be if we just ended the review there. Since 2007 when Lanae Hale first jumped into the Christian music scene with her first EP she has gone from strength to strength, with many people standing up and listening to this great singer, and thankfully she is back and ready to release her full studio album "Back & Forth".

I suppose not, that whole statement says everything, but what kind of site would we be if we just ended the review there. Since 2007 when Lanae Hale first jumped into the Christian music scene with her first EP she has gone from strength to strength, with many people standing up and listening to this great singer, and thankfully she is back and ready to release her full studio album "Back & Forth".
For the first week of the album coming out, you could download the album for free, yes for free, is the Christian music world following the way of non Christians in bands in hoping that people will get the album and then spend money on seeing the tour, staying up with the times is a very important step to take.
It would be very easy for me to say this album is like every other Christian female singer songwriter, and at times yes it does sound like another Cathy Burton album, but the quality of song writing is up there with the best and of a high quality. Back & Forth has its soulful moments, its indie girl rock moments, its big ballads, its soft ballads and its summer anthem moments. To be fair I believe "Back & Forth" covers every style that you would expect adn hope from a brilliant songwriter.
Vocally, Lanae hits some very high notes and goodness me there high, but in a good way.
I was honoured to have got this album for free but if I had to pay for it I wouldn't have bothered me. Lanae Hale has to now be counted as anther great American Singer - Songwriter, but Back & Forth is definitely another great album that will bring the summer sun into your lives, or something along those lines
