The Singing Angel - More of You Jesus
Christian/Gospel
Georgia, United States
Overall Impression: Highly melodic and passionately written, "More of You Jesus" is a powerful gospel-inspired rock ballad that is both gracefully performed and wonderfully spirited in nature. The Singing Angel has done a wonderful job of blending rock, contemporary pop, and R&B elements together to create a rich musical tapestry consisting of beautiful free-flowing melodic lines, delicately expressed vocals, and a staggering amount of conviction.
Strongest Point(s): Whilst the track is heavily rooted in a rock ballad style, the exceptional lead vocal performance helps inject a certain soulful and r&b inspired vocal style into the track that makes for a brilliant combination of styles. Both highly expressive and steeped in emotion, the lead vocal performance is quite simply breathtaking and embodies the peaceful and heartwarming themes that the song is conveying perfectly. The well-chosen instrumentation provides an abundance of varied tonal, dynamic, and timbral diversity throughout and each provides its own unique character to the song, from the soft sweeping strings to the delicate nature of the piano and the fantastic harmonized lead guitar lines to the powerful overdriven rhythm guitars, there is plenty for listeners to engage with.
Target Audience Appeal: This is a strong Christian-based rock and contemporary pop tune and lovers of these styles will love what "More Of You Jesus" has to offer.
Artist target suggestions: David Crowder Band, Leeland, Sidewalk Prophets, Casting Crowns, Phil Wickham, Jars Of Clay, Marvin Sapp, The Clark Sisters
