Best Teen Album Of The Year
Posted June 06, 2009
By StellarKart,
Newcomers, PureNRG introduce their self-titled debut album targeted for kids, tweens, and teens. This trio couldn't have chosen a better time to jump into the market with a fresh new mix of catchy pop songs that show their true desire to spread the Word og God.
With the soon-to-be absence of the group that practically defined the tween pop music genre, Jump5, PureNRG can keep their legacy going. From the first track on the record, "360," right down to the last track "It's Still Love," lessons of love, forgiveness, and setting a Christ-like example are found everywhere on this album. The upbeat song "What If" promotes being satisfied with who you are and who God made you. "Thy Word," a song originally sung by the legendary Amy Grant, is given a more pop-like feel but at the same time does not stray far from the classic, original version. One of the slower songs on the record, "Someday," shares many similarities with the MercyMe hit "I Can Only Imagine" and also proves that Carolyne Myers, 11, Caroline Williams, 12, and 14 year old Jordan Yates (who looks strikingly similar to Jump5's Brandon Hargest) have great and mature voices in spite of their young ages.
There is no doubt PureNRG is a breath of fresh air for parents in the midst of "This Madness" offered to today's young people through the media. Already they have performed for crowds of more than 3,000. There is no question about it. PureNRG's positive, fun, and faith infused lyrics can guarantee that they'll be around for a long time. And that's a big relief. View All Music And Book Reviews By StellarKart | View StellarKart's Profile
