CD Review - Focus

Focus - Holly Starr
I loved Holly's last album, Tapestry, so I was super excited when I heard that she was coming out with another one! She has such a sweet, pure voice and beautiful lyrics!
This album definitely disappoint! With a mixture of beat driven fast songs and thoughtful slow songs, it has a song for everyone. Her lyrics are super catchy. Don't Have Love is about how having all sorts of different things in this world are nothing if you don't have love to go with them. Focus is my favourite by far - it deals with keeping our focus on God at all times. With lyrics like "Lord, I really need to stop right now. Stop now and focus on You. Even with the chaos all around, I'll stop now and focus on You," it was my favourite after the first listen.
Listen to: Satisfied and Focus

Focus - Song of the Week

These lyrics are so beautiful, so honest and so relatable.

Don't Have Love

You can have money and cool friends, a ring on your left hand. But it's never going to be enough if you don't have Love. You can have a fast car, a mansion and everyone's attention But it's never going to be enough if you don't have Love.

Don't Have Love
