Has anyone heard anything about Sara Groves' Add to the Beauty which is due out next week? I've heard the single and love it - but I haven't heard one bit of buzz about this album. I still haven't gotten a prerelease of the album yet, and no one else seems to be talking about it.

Anyone heard it - got any thoughts?

Yeah - that's why I thought it a bit odd that no one has said anything about it...

Somebody here (was it Andree?) mentioned to me that they had heard the album and it wasn't very good. Or they didn't think I would think it was very good if I disliked the pop turn that Other Side took. Something like that...

I think I remember Andree saying that too.

Incidentally, I had my very first experience with Sara Groves o Friday-- I was over at the home of some friends and they had Conversations playing in the background. I obviously couldn't listen too closely to the lyrics, but I enjoyed the music quite a bit.

Conversations is a great album, but probably my least favorite album of Groves'.  All Right Here was a truly beautiful album.  The Other Side of Something was a small step back, but still a very strong effort.

I haven't heard Conversations in its entirety, but I remember liking a few songs from it.

I do think All Right Here would be an excellent place for Josh to start.

Well Sara's publicist was nice enough to send me a copy of this CD yesterday, and I got it today.  I'm on track 10 of 13, and I have to slightly disagree with Andree's take - based on what I've seen in this thread.  I feel this album definitely leans more towards All Right Here rather than The Other Side of Something - of course this is all going on first reaction.

I like what I'm hearing.  Of course, Sara Groves could make a bad album and it still be better than 90% of what's being released in the Christian market these days.

Well, that's good news, even if it's just a first reaction for now.

Actually, I said this album resembled Conversations, not All Right Here.  This album has NO folk and Americana influences on it, so no, it doesn't resemble the latter in the least bit.

Like you said, it is a very good album, though.  I just wished it took more chances.  It's too safe in spots.

Just because sthe instrumentation has no Americana influences, doesn't mean the album doesn't resemble the other one - and besides that - all of All Right Here wasn't influenced by folk and Americana - just specific songs. (Also - someone else said that you said the album influenced The Other Side of Something, not All Right Here.  I said I disagreed with that assesment.)

I think lyrically and melodically, this album is much more like All Right Here than The Other Side of Something.  We were talking about which of those two albums the new one was most like.  Conversations was never even brought up in comparison to Add to the Beauty.
