In the post-
Katy Perry world, it would be tough to find a more relevant, fresh, and thoughtful album than
Britt Nicole's
Lost Get Found. Following a well-received debut, the Christian singer's sophomore record finds her at her peak: infectious, vivid, and great on the dancefloor.
Nicole channels the energy of many of her contemporaries, from
Sara Bareilles to
Avril Lavigne,
Ashley Tisdale to
Gwen Stefani. And while she may seem to please both the teen and AC crowds on the first half of the disc, it's undeniable that she is at her most confident and appealing on the club dance tracks that dominate the core of the album. Take for instance the stand-out groove of "Like a Star," one of the catchiest, most positive songs to hit Christian radio in years. Other memorable tracks include the highly dance-able "Glow," "Headphones," and "Welcome to the Show." Thankfully, the album does not sacrifice substance for style;
Nicole once again shows her strength of delivering meaningful lyrics relating to specific events and situations. Producers Robert Marvin (
Mat Kearney,
tobyMac) and
Dan Muckala (
Brandon Heath,
Backstreet Boys) collaborated to give the album its high-energy output. ~ Jared Johnson
