Free Music Review: Joy's best album ever
Hit: 5 Stars
Although disappointed by By Surprise, hearing the radio hit "Hide" brought faith back into Joy's talents.
1. Stay: This is an awesome catchy song that encourages us to not avoid the pain in our lives and to face it to see our full potential. The lyrics are catchy, Joy's voice is perfect with the accompaniment, and it is a great way to start of the disc. 5/5
2. We: There are probably a million songs about the girl/guy who has it all but is still dissatisfied. You would think this one would flop. But it doesn't. Joy imbues the song with new life. Add a catchy tune, good, crisp lyrics, and a rocky beat and you have a new "old" song. 5/5
3. Say Goodbye: Slowing down from the last two upbeat tunes, this song deals with changing from who you were to who you are. Not my favorite, it is easy to catch on to, with some pretty nice lyrics. Plus, this is where the disc gets its name ("Genesis"). 4/5
4. Hide: The big radio hit of the disc, this is probably the best song Joy has ever done (well, next to "Do you see Jesus in me?"). A great melody coupled with awesome lyrics (about not being ashamed of all the bad things you've ever done)--who couldn't like this song (even after hearing it a million times)? 5/5 (actually more, but 5 is the limit)
5. Beautiful Redemption: A heartfelt song, Joy sings about the trials she's been through and the redemptions she's found in God. Not my favorite, but there is something about the song that is just pleasant. 3.5/5
6. Unafraid: Joy picks up the tempo in this one as she sings about how she is not afraid of whatever she plans on tackling despite going against the crowd. A great showcase of her vocal range and the powerhouse of her voice. Not to mention powerful lyrics. 4/5
7. Silence: In this very personal song, Joy tackles the issue of desiring to feel God's presence. Not my favorite, but still, Joy does a pretty good job. 3.5/5
8. I'm in Love with You: This is a sweet, sweet ballad that Joy sings to her new husband (at the time). Absolutely adorable love song about the joys (and sorrows) of marriage. Although not particularly upbeat, this is one of my favorites. 5/5
9. God Only Knows: A song about how God knows what is going on in our lives (and is holding us in His arms). Joy sings it well (during the chorus, she really lets it all go--you can feel the energy in her voice), the lyrics are very crisp, and the melody is catchy. 5/5
10. Child of Eden: This song alludes to the Creation story of Adam and Eve. Another slow song, this is probably my least favorite of the disc. Joy sings it well, but there really isn't much calling to me in this song. 3/5
A delightful collection of heartfelt love songs, upbeat head-boppers, and soulful introspective ballads, I think this is Joy's best album ever. Joy and her creative team did a much better job matching her powerful, unique voice to an appropos song style (unlike in By Surprise where her voice just couldn't find purchase against all the other rock instruments). Also, Joy's songs are more catchy, more personal, and more everything. If you have to buy only one of Joy's CDs, buy this one.
