VERTICAL VICKY
Praise immersed singer/songwriter
Vicky Beeching is back with an even bigger platform than her time in the Sparrow Records family. These days, she strikes a deal tailored specifically to her vertical style, turning in the corresponding
Eternity Invades on Integrity Music (also the home of
Hillsong, Lincoln Brewster and
Israel Houghton) and bringing her soothing, uplifting contemporary styles to the famed label.
CUTTING EDGE CLASSIC
The Classic Crime's made the mainstream rounds via the Vans Warped Tour and covered all club bases as solo headliners. However, the group's late 2009 trip to Haiti was amongst its most moving to date, in turn inspiring the lyrical tone throughout
Vagabonds (Tooth & Nail). Along the way, the group's also stepped up its instrumental chops and is sure to command crowds this summer on the road with its guitar-charged alternative rock romps.

SOULFUL SHEARD
Between her ongoing role in the
Clark Sisters to solo superstardom,
Karen Clark Sheard is amongst one of gospel music's leading ladies. And even though she's a veteran, the soulful singer remains on top of her game come the rhythmic
All In One (KRW), which incorporates a mainstream friendly sound across some selections, while others are tailored specifically towards corporate worship settings.
