Joanna Martino: My World - by Kat
Stuck on your Head: I can feel your energy. You are my life. The Current running through my veins. You're the power inside of me. When I am weak. Fill me with your energy
Joanna Martino's debut album 'My World' is a fun collection of energetic, uplifting pop tracks each with a deep meanings.
Energy: The opening track opens with a piano and chello intro that leads into a theatrical song about God's energy. 'You're the Power inside of me. When I am weak. Fill me with your energy'. A good pening track with song lyrics.
8/10
Right where you want me: 'When it all falls down and blows up in my face. I realize that it was never my place'. Right where you want me is a mid tempo tune about realizing your place and what is really important in your life. An uplifting and catchy tune. One of my favorites on the album.
10/10
God is never gone: A faster rock track with really striking lyrics 'Like a siren cuts in the dark, I will scream to the lonely hearts'. Encouraging message and a fun sound. Another of my favorites.
10/10
Fall: Fall starts out slowly and speeds up for the chorus. Good beat, great effects and great lyrics.
8/10
You love me: You love me is a song about changing yourself to be others think you should be 'Advertisers sell me and the tv tries to tell me that my beauties skin deep... it's not about appearance, it's not about my style. No matter what the world is thinking of me. You love me' and ultimately realising God loves you for you. The message is great for a generation choking on pro anorexic media and superficiality. Good tune too.
10/10
Renegade: I'm not quite sure what I think of this song. In some ways I like it, in some ways I don't. The song has a nice enough tune thought nothing very special. The lyrics about love being a renegade are good.
6/10
Lay it down: Cowritten by Joanna this is a beautiful slow song about laying down your worries and life before a God who gave his life. Essentially a love song to God.
This is my World: My world is another slow song that eventually speeds up. Piano and vocally driven. A definite highlight on the album.
10/10
Psalm 108 Psalm 108 is a gorgeous song written from Psalm 108 in the Bible. An easy listening mild rock song.
8/10
Road less traveled They save the best till last with the beautiful slow track 'Road less traveled' a beautiful song of hope 'and the road less traveled will make the difference in me'.
Overall 'My Wor'd is a great pop/rock album from a talented new star with a powerful voice. Great seletion of most upbeat rock tracks.
Definitely worth checking out!
