ABOUT THE ARTIST

A native of San Diego, CALEE REED has been writing and singing songs since she was a little girl. Her latest work shows her at her peak vocally and stylistically. She writes songs that capture raw emotion and vivid imagery, helping the listener tune into their own faith journey and find the peace and joy that she points out from her own experience. As a new mother, she makes poignant observations about the depth and meaning of the human experience, with all of its ups and downs. Her latest album is a heartfelt testimony that reflects the joy she has found in her journey.

REVIEW

This lovely album by a talented new artist shares beautiful messages combined with a nice pop sound.  The songs carry a strong Christian message about the power of Jesus Christ to help us be 'enough', find miracles in our lives, and Come Unto Christ.  The music is fun and upbeat with a couple of slower songs to balance things out (Miraculous and Come Unto Christ).  I especially liked the song, I Am Enough, which refers to God loving us despite our imperfections and need to change.  The combination of a nice voice, beautiful songs, and great messages makes this a very pleasant album, especially if you like Cheri Call and Hilary Weeks, as this CD is reminiscent of their style.
