"THE RECKLESS PURSUIT" - SARAH CAMERON

 

Hang on for the ride of a lifetime! The debut album by singer-songwriter Sarah Cameron is finally seeing the light of day and rushing over into your ear holes for an audio cacophony that any music lover will never forget. 

"The Reckless Pursuit" is currently breaking down barriers and breaking hearts at the same time with a mighty BANG!! 

It takes you through an emotion journey as you listen track after track after track. A couple of very notable songs on this album would be "Whisper" and the last couple of tracks on the album which includes "Hold On" and "Live Out Loud".

The unashamed faith of Cameron can boldly be discovered sprinkled throughout the whole album. And I personally give props and totally respect Sarah Cameron for it. 

It is a physical impossibility to go through the entire album without shedding a tear or in the very least feeling emotions that you may have had bottled up for a long time. 

The influences upon this album are evident. The album has vibes of Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, and others. Fans of them will be fans of Sarah Cameron. 
 
The album is a force to be reckoned with for sure. And can stand up amongst anything else in the music industry. 

"A THOUSAND LIVES" - JESS NOVAK BAND

I would be missing out a very great opportunity if I do not take the time to pause and discuss the tenth album by Jess Novak that was released in late 2021. This is more of a post of reflection. 

The album holds a personal place in my life and in my heart. And I should share that with you. 

I stumbled upon Jess Novak on Twitch almost two years ago to the date from when this post was written. The singer-songwriter took to Twitch as many musicians did during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first song that I heard Jess Novak play was "Anchor".

This song came when I was at a very low point in my life while suffering a very depression. That moment when I heard the song being played on her Twitch live stream struck a very deep chord with me that it invoked great emotions from within. It changed my outlook on my personal life and allowed me to get the mental release that I had been looking for. 

I decided to follow her live stream and the next time she went live, I requested that Novak play the song again. And from that point on, I have requested the song so much that on her Twitch live stream, playing the song has become a staple of the live stream. Two years later and barely a stream has gone by without that song being played. But for "A Thousand Lives", it was recorded and included on the album. A song that Novak admits, was just sitting on the shelf and essentially without a home until that moment of realization that it was so meaningful to someone. 

Other tracks that a person should take note of would be "Apologies" & the title track "A Thousand Lives" as they have grown to become personal favorites of mine.
