I'm really liking the new album from Kanye West titled 808s & Heartbreak.  This album is a little more industrial sounding and he uses the vocal doubler and tuner on most songs.  It's still Kanye and it's still got catchy hooks.  Get this one.

Another strong album from The Killers titled Day & Age.  Known for their arrangements and rock out times during the songs, and this one keeps that going.  I think it's their best songs yet.

From CFNI to Gateway, now to release her own album.  You have to check out Kari Jobe and the new single titled I'm Singing.  The same voice that made Revelation Song famous is the same voice that has lead thousands into worship.  Look for the full album to be released soon.

In honor of my sister Julie, check out Red and the new single titled Fight Inside.  A strong arrangement and great vocals make this a song to get and a album to wait for.

Just a few selections for you today.  Lets first start with David Cook, Mr. American Idol...Yea I know you might really like him, but I liked him more on the show than the David Cook on the new album.  Just me...

Beyonce, yea I said Beyonce.  This is a power to the woman album, and it really shows off her talent.  I just wish she would try some of Leona Lewis kind of arrangements.

I'm getting into Christmas music, I know its a little early.  I'm listening to Harry Connick Jr. and the Christmas album from Newsong.  You can not really go wrong with Christmas music unless it's Amy Grant...

What are you listening to?

Anything with Hillsong on it you better at least check it out.  They are known for great lyrics, strong arrangements and powerful worship.  The new album from Hillsong London titled Hail To The King does not disappoint.

The king of Christmas music, yes its that time of year already, Harry Connick Jr. has a new one out.  What A Night! is filled with some new and old favorites, pop this one on and get ready for Christmas!

Staying in the Christmas theme, Sarah Brightman and her new album titled Winter Symphony.  You will love her crisp vocals and a little different twist on the arrangements of some traditional songs.

Nothing new here, just the hits from Switchfoot all on one album.  The Best Yet is one to get if you just love you some Switchfoot.

Smooth voice and killer piano arrangements make this new album from John Legend titled Evolver one to get.  Some big names join him on this one: Kanye West, Will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas, and Andre 3000 from Outkast.  

You need to check out Snow Patrol and the new album titled A Hundred Million Suns.  I have always been impressed with their musicianship, and it really shows on this new album.  If your a fan you already have it, and if you don't know who they are this cd is the place to start to get to know their music.

New album from Switchfoot front man Jon Foreman titled Limbs and Branches.  He has released a couple of solo albums and all will not disappoint.  Same great vocals with new and unique arrangements.  Check it out.

I've been a fan of Skillet for many years.  Love their sound and they are cool because they have a chick drummer.  The new album titled Comatose Comes Alive is such a strong loaded one.  Great songwriting with great arrangements.

Check out Building 429 and the new album.  Their distinct sound will be found on this new cd and they have stepped out into a little different arrangement styles.  I think it is one to get.

You have to check out The 88 and their new album titled Not Only...But Also.  Chances are you have already heard their music but you may not know it.  Many of their catchy melodies are used in TV shows and promos.  They have a old school meets new school sound that sticks with you.  One to get.

If you are a fan Jason Mraz or Jack Johnson then you will like Brett Dennen and his new cd titled Hope For The Hopeless.  He has a great sound and unique vocals, but he also has a inspiring message through his music.  

If you like hard hitting rock, then check out Disciple.  The new album is titled Southern Hospitality.  A little more commercial than their past albums, but still the same rock sound.

Never been a big fan of Mary Mary, but I can't denial the great harmonies.  Everyone loves great harmonies right?  Same sounding album as their last, and middle of the road arrangements.  Not going on my iPhone, but you may like it.

A favorite song writer of my wife and I is Ingrid Michaelson.  The new album does not disappoint.   Acoustic driven folk style rock with great tunes.  Check out the great new track titled Be Ok.

Keane has a great new album out titled Perfect Symmetry.  It is a great rock/pop cd but they have stepped a little farther out into some new arrangement styles.  I think it's a great one to get.  Some great tracks are Better Than This; You Don't See Me; and Pretend That You're Alone.

For all you country fans, you need to check out Kenny Chesney and his new album Lucky Old Sun.  This 2 cd album includes 4 bonus live tracks.  

You have got to get Jon McLaughlin's new album titled Ok Now.  Piano lead pop album is full of great writing and great arrangments.  This is one to get.

Start the list today with Anberlin and the new album titled New Surrender.  The new album further established Anberlin's signature sound.  Distinct vocals and solid guitar tones make this one worth getting.  

You have to check out the new album from James Taylor titled Covers.  Fans have been waiting for this one for years.  It was recorded live with an awesome group of musicians.  It is a collection of tunes made famous by artists like Buddy Holly, The Dixie Chicks, The Temptations, Leonard Cohen, George Jones, and Eddie Cochran.  Taylor makes each tune his own.  Check it.

If your looking for something a little different look to Robin Thicke and the new album titled Something Else.  On this album you will find a little Rock, R & B, and blues.   Strong, crisp vocals and unique arrangements will send this album up the charts. Check it. 

American Idol finalist Jennifer Hudson has a new album out.  A few strong songs with powerful vocals makes this cd one that will get noticed.  This cd has a soulful-style with some great arrangements.

Let's start with Kings of Leon.  Their new cd titled Only by the Night is great.  Unique sounding rock with some great vocals.  Check them out if you are looking for a little different rock album.

This next worship album will rock your face off.  Lincoln Brewster is a beast on the guitar and it really shows what he can do on his new cd titled Today Is The Day.  Great vocals, killer guitar worship, what else could you want?

Check out Nevertheless.  Strong rock with vocals that are serious.  A tone of great guitar tone and everyone loves a little dropped D (diffe

rent guitar tuning for you none guitar players).  

Check out Downhere.  It's a folk inspired rock album.  They are not well known, but I think this new cd is going to change that.
