I Finally "Woke Up" To Bethany Dillon
Posted June 07, 2008
By singersmartguy17,


Let me start off by saying, I'm not, and have never been, a hardcore BD fan. Although her voice and lyrics are very impressive, her music is just not my style. I liked her first album, but her 2nd album was too bland for me to get into. Over half of its songs were slow and it was just plain boring to me. So I took a chance and got this album anyway, and I am glad I did!

"Waking Up" is the more upbeat Bethany. The album has a lot more catchy hooks, and sing-out-loud moments than her previous ones. Regardless, her lyrics are better than ever, especially in the mellow closer, "On Our Side," and "Beggar's Heart."

Highlights include the upbeat "The Kingdom," in which Beth sings about a woman who can't get pregnant but really wants to, and her struggle with God; the catchy, guitar-laced "Change" and "Top of the World"; the love song "When You Love Someone"; the folky title track; and the contemporary "Let Your Light Shine."

I hope Bethany's next album keeps this upbeat tempo throughout, and doesn't fall back into boringness....
