Jeff Deyo, former lead singer of SonicFlood now gone solo, released his debut album on March 26th. Sure it has its up and down times, but most of them are up!
It has 15 tracks, and a lot of them are quite enjoyable. However, there are two instrumental tracks, which I am not quite sure what was the point of adding them. And they aren't that short either... with one clocking in at 3:04 minutes then the other at 4:17.
But other than those couple of songs, this album is really pleasing. It's one of my favorite Modern Worship albums! The majority of the album is upbeat, but even the slower ones are songs you would want to listen to.
Not only is it a great album, but to make it even better it also has a number of guest artists singing on some of the tracks! On 'More Love More Power' you'll hear recording artist, and co-owner of Gotee Records, tobyMac in the background. Then on 'Sing To You,' ForeFront Records' Rebecca St. James helps Jeff out. Along with those two, Nicol Smith and Fleming McWilliams (of Fleming & John) also make appearances on the album.
So if you are a fan of modern worship, I highly recommend this album! But even if you aren't a huge fan of the genre, you should still consider checking it out, it truly is a great album.

I usually try to review music that people from all walks of life can relate to, but this one is pretty much for Christians only.

Saturate is a follow-up to Deyo's previous work that is most welcomed as a part of this artist's music library. This modern-worship…The Phantom Tollbooth 2002Reviewed by Josh HurstAs a true work of art, Saturate falls short- it's really the same thing we've heard so many times before, albeit it's much more well-crafted. As a worship experience, though, Saturate is a winner- former Sonicflood frontman Jeff Deyo proves here why his band was so popular. It's because Deyo has such a contagious passion for worship. There was an intensity on Sonicflood's first CD that is sadly…The Phantom Tollbooth 2002Reviewed by Bert GanglA singer's decision to step away from the front position of a successful recording outfit can be a daunting one, particularly in light of results that can fall at any point between magnificent and disastrous. While artists as varied as Ozzy Osbourne and Diana Ross have been able to translate their group-related successes into more or less equal quantities as individual performers, others like Rod…Similar sounding releases
