Album Review

Aaron Sprinkle's extraordinary history in music has graced us with yet another amazing album. From Poor Old Lu, to Rose Blossom Punch, and now to his solo projects, his work has been truly inspired. He has amazing God-given talent, and is like a breath of fresh air in this world where music has become a mere formula. Aaron breaks the mold and produces over and over again music with depth, fullness, and character. Each of his solo albums is marked by different, equally pleasing styles. His latest, "Bareface", is a raw, passionate record that I would recommend to anyone (along with any album he has had any part in). Musically, it seems like a blend of the edgier "Kindest Days" and the more acoustic "Moontraveler", but I almost hesitate to say this because it implies that they are somewhat close in likeness, and they are not. There are three traits of Aaron's music that ring true in every album. The first are his lyrics- in a shallow world such as the one we live in, they leave you speechless. They resound with emotion as if he has recorded his heart speaking. But it's not just the lyrics, its the way he arranges them and the unmatched style in which he delivers them. This is the second trait. Aaron's vocals are perhaps the best I've ever heard. They are intriguing and piercing and strengthen the emotional depth of his lyrics. The last trait is quite simple - unmatched, unrivaled, completely original music. The music industry is often separated into Christian and secular music, and for a long time Christian music has fallen short of secular music from a musical perspective (though definitely the opposite from a lyrical perspective). With Aaron Sprinkle and the bands he has started or played in (Poor Old Lu, Rose Blossom Punch, The World Inside), Christian music has reached a new level. I honestly believe there is no other musician to rival Aaron Sprinkle. He is amazing, and his music reflects his Creator - truly beautiful. Music is a gift from God; to perform music is a gift He gave to Aaron, and we are blessed to have music of this quality
