Flare v. (flâr)1. To burst into intense, sudden flame.

A new artist with immense flare has burst into the Christian music industry. Enter Aaron Spriro and his debut album, "Sing." "Sing" was masterfully directed by champion producer combo, Charlie Peacock (dc Talk) and Jacquire King (Third Eye Blind).

A rugged, hip voice that sounds much like that of Peter Gabriel or Seal, is a unique addition to the Christian music industry. Intensely God-powered lyrics are found throughout "Sing." One does not have to search for hidden intentions and dedications within each song on this album. "Sing" will be warmly welcomed by those who like straight-forward, passionate, and God-praising music. Track six, "Beautiful," is direct in its description of Jesus and how "oh so beautiful" He is. Track ten is a harmonious dedication to Jesus and His glorious worth.

Aaron Spriro's new album, "Sing" has been categorized as contemporary Christian music. How about a new category for this new sound: edgy- contemporary. Take a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon drive in the country with "Sing" in your cd player, you'll be glad you did.
