I was expecting something a bit eclectic. Yet, whilst there is a range of style on show, they do all tend to be within the "safe" mould of US CCM. Few of the artists here are particularly well known and that is the whole point. Spend £1.99 and see what you think. Generally there's not too much that'll upset you. Not too much that will extend the boundaries of CCM either. Standouts would be "Thinking It Over" by Seven Places; "Everything About You" from Sanctus Real, "With You" by Sarah Kelly, which reminds me of that lady who Wogan plays now and again who sings the "Dr Phil" song. Most of the rest kinda blend into each other and pass harmlessly by. Some fairly good praise and worship (Telecast) with some lightweight hip-hop (Jadyn Maria) and a song that reminds me of the Friends theme song by the Rembrants sung by James Clay.
