First of all, this review is one person's opinion and other people may view the music in a different way. I try to make my reviews constructive and as positive as possible (totally negative reviews do absolutely no good). With all that said, here we go.
First Impression:
Challenge consists of Allison and Arno. The music consists of some good female vocals, acoustic guitars, hammond organs (nice touch) and drums. Their music has been classified as rock but I think I would put in more in the catagory of pop/rock. You can tell that these 2 have been around the music scene for quite a while for as polished as they are. With the sounds and the talent of Challenge, I feel they have a good shot at going a long way in the music scene. If you like good female vocals and some great musicianship, check out Challenge.
Some suggestions:
Excellent put together piece of work. Promo pack contained loads of information on this group.
Favorites:
Words - I really liked the words on this one.
Angel's Scared To Fly - Great vocals on this song.
It's My Life - Liked the strength of the vocals on here.
Wake Into Daylight - Nice guitar work. Well put together song.
The Voice Of Freedom - Probably my favorite on the CD. Great song!
I'll Fight For You - Liked the groove of this one and the lyrics.
This CD is recorded with very good quality and the production is very good as well. Challenge has got what it takes to go a long way in the music business. They have a lot of experience behind them and some great talent and drive to make whatever they want happen for themselves, happen! I would like to hear more from Challenge that is a little more recent to see if anything has changed or if they are looking at doing a new CD sometime soon. Check em' out, they're worth a listen!
Overall on a scale from 1-5, I give it a 4.
