Jessie Daniels is the first Christian artist on the country music label, Midas Records. Her debut has spawned the upbeat CHR hit "The Noise", and the current single, "Everyday", is climbing the charts as we speak. Jessie Daniels' self-titled album follows efforts by Aly & AJ, Krystal Meyers, and Everlife. Having a rock-based feel, yet bringing some up-tempo pop vocals to the table. The singles, "The Noise" and "Everyday", show this side of this future superstar. While most of the songs are upbeat guitar-driven pop songs, Jessie gives us some pretty ballads. Such as "Hold Me Now" and "It's No Wonder". These songs have AC radio potential, as "Hold Me Now" is an Adult Contemporary single. If you prefer the rock stylings of Krystal Meyers, you will enjoy rock songs "Hello/Goodbye" and "Human Being". I also have to complement the lyrics of the songs. "Next To You" being the best. The song speaks about how God "Broke the rules of time, rearranged the universe, brought his world to ours, so we could next to him." "Everyday" is how God loves us, how he tries "everyday" to bring us closer to Him. The last track is a remix of "Hold Me Now". The song guest stars Tom Pellerin of Overflow. The remix is softer than the original version. Overall, a great CD, especially for fans of female guitar-pop.
