David Dunn
An artist can draw from any number of muses throughout their career . Often , the most compelling work is derived from wells of deep emotion . David Dunn drew from such a place on his triumphant sophomore album , Yellow Balloons . The critically acclaimed release shot to the Top 5 on the Hot AC / CHR chart , reinforcing David ’ s status as one of the most compelling , relevant artists in the industry . But it ’ s not the success of this record that make it a standout ; it ’ s the story and the faith behind it . While visiting family , two of his nieces went down for a nap . One of them never woke up . Cause of death has yet to be determined , leaving the family awash in grief and unanswered questions . Yellow Balloons is the manifestation of David ’ s own grief and struggle for reconciliation in the face of such a loss . While it is certainly wrenching in its own right , Yellow Balloons is also an invitation for others who have experienced loss to trust in the unknowable and , above all , cling to the hope of Christ .
Roberts ’ powerful , soulful vocal takes center stage on this , her first , worship album . The 80s pop-inspired album is upbeat , contagious and a reminder of the joy we can and should experience in worship .
Jeff Miller has set a new standard for the art of looping , as demonstrated on his latest offering , Loops . Featuring performances by Phil Keaggy , the album is a sonic soiree of uncanny creativity and unbridled talent .
