Over the last few years I have been very impressed by the number of CCM artists who turn out quality product on what must be a small budget, small compared to the mega-buck projects of the big labels. Singer, songwriter and worship leader from Wisconsin Rosanna Fiorazo is a case in point. Of the 11 songs on this CD, she wrote 10 of them, the odd man out being the Rich Mullins and Mitch McVicker-penned classic from 'The Jesus Record', "My Deliverer". Mitch himself adds his own voice to a reading that is nothing like the kiddie chorus and anthemic orchestral arrangement of the original. Rosanna's style is good, straightforward pop, her voice is clear and accurate with a good range, and her songs are direct, challenging and unambiguous - there's no doubt where she's coming from. Mix in accomplished musicians and singers, and here we have a very good quality indie release that is worth investigating.
