Description

I got sent a CD of Mat Kearney's EP "Chicago" when ordering a Mason Jennings album from awarestore. His fusion of rap/hip-hop with pop/folk was something I hadn't heard before. The nearest would be Beck or G-Love, but Mat sounds more like Chris Martin than anyone else. This is a fanatastic album full of songs that both tear at your heart and lift you up when you're down - far better than I expected when I'd heard the EP. I can't really express just how good this is and it gets better with every listen.
After a bit of research it seems Mat Kearney's inspiration is drawn from his Christian beliefsmore…. This, however, is irrelevant to the music he writes, as much as various Christian websites seem to want to overstate the connection. These are simply powerful songs which, lyrically, are open to the listener's own interpretation and no agenda is forced on you. There is no singing of "Jesus is great" or any cliched "Christian Rock" - Religion has very little meaning to me personally but this doesn't reflect in any way on this album that is more about love than the object of that love.
Buy it, trust me!
