Sara Groves

原來是高中老師，突然間就成為一個福音歌手(burst onto the gospel scene)，媒體如此形容Sara Groves。在美國是屬于SONY旗下的EPIC發(fā)行，看起來是很有商業(yè)潛力的可能，否則商業(yè)公司怎會有興趣。不過，歌詞方面卻也蠻清楚地讓一般消費(fèi)者認(rèn)知到這是如假包換的“福音歌”。像第一主打歌Painting Pictures of Egypt，很清楚地是來自舊約圣經(jīng)“出埃及記”；與專輯同名的歌Conversations是與上帝的隨性談話、The Word是上帝的話、甚至有Hello Lord這樣的歌，“喂，主阿，你最近在干嘛”…還有…自己跟上帝的關(guān)系的反省：How It Is Between Us、追尋真理的過程：This Journey Is My Own、疑惑的歌：What Do I Know、信心的歌：Know My Heart、平安的歌：Going Home、也不忘贊美上帝的歌：He’s Always Been Faithful…
Sara Groves的音樂是比較不屬一般電視流行歌主流，比較原音樂器的，比較民謠的，比較“樂評家喜歡”那一種，難怪，在2001年終時，許多基督教媒體的“critic’s choice”當(dāng)?？吹絊ara Groves的名字。
Sara Groves, a former high school teacher in her native Rosemont, MN, burst onto the gospel scene at the dawn of the new millennium with her fresh vocals and spiritual songwriting. She's been compared to the likes of Shawn Colvin and Rich Mullins, however, Groves defines her own musical demeanor. She cannot be limited to one exact label, for her contemporary Christian hooks also mold into delicate pop. Signed to Epic, Groves issued her debut, Conversations, in early 2001.
