Truly Amazing!

Cadia is definitely going to be one of the best new artists of 2008. Their voices blend together to make beautiful harmonies reminiscent of BarlowGirl. The girls both have a bit of a country style to their voices, making them perfect for the songs on the album. "Trust In Me Now" is a beautiful song, but is a rather slow song to start an album. "I'll Stay" picks up the tempo, and has a catchy hook. "Safe Place To Fall", "Only A Prayer Away", and "Speak" follow suit of "Trust In Me Now." Although the album has no true "ballads", these songs are slower-paced pop songs. The ZOEgirl influence is evident in the upbeat songs "Jesus" and "Curious." "Radiate" is another good pop song---not too slow, but not upbeat either. Cadia does a great job on the album's 2 remakes. The cover of Martina McBride's "This One's For The Girls" is perfect for a Christian group to cover, as it reaches out to girls everywhere. Cadia puts more of a pop spin on the song, instead of its original country-pop song. "Shadowfeet," a cover of Brooke Fraser, is amazing. This is by far the best slower song on the album. They take Brooke's original acoustic sound and adds heavier instruments to give the song a "fuller" sound, and to make it more climactic. Another highlight of the album is the song that gave Cadia a name..."Inside Out," the theme song for the ever-popular Revolve Tour. Thousands of teen girls attend this conference every year, which exposed them to this song, and Cadia. The song is as upbeat as the album gets. It has a killer guitar hook and catchy chorus. The only bad thing about the album is that it seems like the girls just want to let loose and rock a little. Their voices seem fit to produce more upbeat, poppy songs like ZOEgirl, but instead the album has a softer tone. I hope that the sophomore release has more upbeat tunes---that will definitely earn them my coveted 5-star rating---and I don't give those often.
