Pro Reviews: Tell Me What You Know

EXPERT RATING:

From AMG Reviews

One cannot approach Tell Me What You Know, Sara Groves' sixth album, expecting a lot of surprises. Sure, Groves is a perennial favorite among Christian music critics and audiophiles, but her high marks aren't necessarily a result of innovation or avantgarde career moves as much as of a strong, rocksolid track record of equally strong, rocksolid songwriting about Christian living and faith. Despite being a pop artist at heart, a lot of her depth is lost on more mainstream, radioweaned Christian audiences, mainly because she dwells in the more sophisticated, tripleA side of pop, not the commercial, bigtime pop/rock of, say, a Casting Crowns or a Chris Tomlin. Still, Groves is very comfortable at what she does, so much so that Tell Me What You Know could appear as if it was cut from the same mold as her celebrated The Other Side of Something and Add to the Beauty projects. Of course, Groves realizes how easily this brand of pianobased adult pop comes to her, so she tries to distance herself from her core strengths by way of offbeat, alternative pop never more evident than in the poignant "Song for My Sons" and the eccentric minimasterpiece "In the Girl There's a Room." After that, though, she quickly retreats to what she does best namely, bouncy, quirky pop pieces ("Love Is Still a Worthy Cause"), tender folk dialogs ("Say a Prayer"), and pensive, pianobased balladry ("I Saw What I Saw"), all of which, while not mindblowingly novel, are indeed moving, thoughtprovoking numbers, performed with finesse and inspired by Groves' newfound passion for reaching out to the least of these. In this regard, Tell Me What You Know deserves a mention, if not for its overall uniqueness, then for continuing to solidify Groves as one of the most important, consistent Christian singer/songwriters of the new millennium.
