Sarah MacIntosh Album Charting High
|
Sarah MacIntosh first burst onto the Christian music scene nine years ago with her band Chasing Furies, and now she is branding herself as a stand-out solo artist with her new album The Waiters, The Watchers, The Listeners, The Keepers, And Me. MacIntosh’s first radio single “More Than Hands” reached the #1 spot on CRW’s IAA Chart only 11 days after going for adds.
In addition to her radio success, MacIntosh’s album is being hailed by the critics. Below are just a few of the rave reviews for Sarah and her album:
“The return of Sarah MacIntosh bodes well for an industry in need of fresh expressions. Welcome back, Sarah.”--CMCentral.com
“(4 stars)...a terrific alternative pop/rock atmosphere rivaling the best that today's modern worship has to offer.…stunning vocals and a well-crafted alternative sound characterize this impressive return from the lead singer of Chasing Furies.”
--ChristianMusicToday.com
“As both artistic expression and an act of reverence, The Waiters...has been worth waiting for.”
--iTunes
“...[MacIntosh] invests each song with intensity and emotion. Her voice beckons and cajols, entices, invites, and ultimately compels you to come into this musical feast.” --Lifeway.com
“ (4 stars)...MacIntosh’s impressive vocals are spot on...this album isn’t anything like what you’re hearing from Chris Tomlin or Israel & New Breed - it’s modern worship with a strong alternative bent that MacIntosh pulls off extremely well.” --TheBridgeLive.net
“...the return of one of the most unique voices in contemporary Christian music.” --The ChristianManifesto.com
David Crowder is also a fan of Sarah’s saying, “Sarah’s voice lures you into thinking bits of heaven might be here already.”
Produced by her husband Jonathan MacIntosh (Luna Halo, Trevor Davis), the album holds a powerhouse of musical backing with Vinnie Colaiuta (Sting, Billy Joel, Josh Groban) on drums, Brent Milligan (Michael W. Smith, Tobymac) on bass, and Jonathan on guitars. This incredible melodic landscape blended with MacIntosh’s angelic and hauntingly vulnerable vocals sets the stage for an original and riveting musical experience that is making fans and critics sit up and listen.
