(1 Customer Review)
Jaci Velasquez's 2005 English-language album shows that she had grown past the teeny-bopper tag that greeted her early releases (she had been called, on more than one occasion, the Christina Aguilera of the Contemporary Christian Music set). While Velasquez's strong Christian beliefs are still at the center of her music (note "Something Wonderful" and "Reason to Believe" here), BEAUTY HAS GRACE sports a new, mature, and immediately appealing sound that draws inspiration from modern alternative rock. Most of the songs are guitar-dominated, with a slick, poppy polish that keeps things both energized and accessible.
The main ingredient is still the singer's voice, which is dusky, alluring, and particularly well suited to the stylistic direction of BEAUTY HAS GRACE. There is a sensuous, plaintive ache in Velasquez's singing that is equally effective on shimmering mid-tempo rockers ("With All My Soul") and hushed, emotive ballads ("Lay It Down"). Velasquez also shares writing credits on most of the songs, making this one of her most personal artistic statements. In addition to pleasantly surprising CCM fans following Velasquez's career, BEAUTY HAS GRACE should easily win converts from the pop and alt-rock camps.

| | Angle We Can Breathe Under Alcohol CDs (2005) Enhanced CD
Beauty Has Grace music CDs
$10.19 An Angle tidies up the production and expands some of the arrangements for We Can Breathe Under Alcohol, their second effort for Drive-Thru. Bass, drums, strings, keys, Jessica Brown's pretty backing vocals -- there's even an occasional blast of brass. But at the center of it all is still Kris Anaya, the Sacramento band's songwriter, singer, and only static member. And he's still a weary, lovelorn, life-curious drunk, meaning that We Can Breathe doesn't feature enough of his talent or that of the ten-plus people in its credits. As they were on And Take It With a Grain of Salt, Bright Eyes and Elliott Smith are still immediate touchstones for Anaya's rambling, wordy indie pop (He has perfected a version of Conor Oberst's bruised warble). ...
