Review: Kyle Sherman Album 'Hear Me'




Fort Worth-based singer-songwriter Kyle Sherman recently signed on as the flagship artist to brand new label RayLynn Records, an opportunity that presented itself during a time period when a record deal wasn't even on his radar.

"It's crazy how God works," Kyle says. 'Five years ago, I pushed pretty hard to do my own thing as a singer-songwriter, but every well I approached would dry up. It clearly wasn't the right time." So Kyle continued on a path of leading worship, taking a full-time role as worship leader at Lifechurch.TV's Fort Worth campus under the leadership of renowned pastor/author Craig Groeschel.

Just 3-years later Kyle made it back to Nashville, pouring his heart into a microphone at Sony studio with veteran producer and country singer-songwriter Mark Collie making his first album. God is faithful. Hear Me, the result of those sessions, is an eclectic and authentic mix of rootsy, southern soul.

There are 13 songs included:
Hear Me
Come To Me
Fountains
He Prayed For Me
All New Things (Hallelujah)
Heaven
Build It On The Rock
One True Friend
New Life
You Are The Only One
The Greatest Tear
Healing Coming Down
Come To Me- Original Version

My Thoughts:
I just like this album.  My middle-aged ears have a problem with much of contemporary Christian music not because of the lyrics or voices but because of the percussion in the backround.  I don't find that problem with 'Hear Me'.   There is a pleasing blend of voice and instruments.  The guitar music enhances the uplifting lyrics and his pleasant singing voice.  I think that this album will cross the generations quite well.  Honestly, I think the best recommendation for the album is for you to listen to some clips yourself.  See if you enjoy it as much as I have.
