This is the first CD review from "Joey's Corner :)" This will be short, sweet, and to the point.
This is a review of Stephanie Smith's, who is under contract with Gotee Records(Toby Mac), debut album "Not Afraid." The CD reminds me of the original American Idol, Kelley Clarkson, with the Pop-Rock variety of music. The apparent "bring-you-in" song on this CD is 'Superstar." "Superstar" is, from my point of view, is about God watching down on us, and that every move is all from Him. Another great track is the bonus track, "First Words." This is the life story of Stephanie, from where she was born until now. Stephanie's story is one of a kind, and I really enjoyed hearing it in person. All-in-All this CD is not bad for her first. I expect to see more releases from her in the coming years.
My rating: 7.5/10
Reason for rating: This CD is great, but somehow I don't feel she is really proving her record label. Gotee Records is a Christian label group for all of you who don't know. Stephanie has some songs, "Superstar," "Renew Me," "You Alone," etc., all fit into the category, just not all. I expected this with being a first, and expect an absolutely amazing 2nd album. Good Job Stephanie Smith!
