    For our 9th annual Highlighting feature, we split the year into TWO pieces -- January to June and July to December. Each list contains 15 artists/releases for a total of 30 in total for 2015. So, without further ado, we give you Highlighting Second-Half 2015! -- Please keep in mind that any artists that placed in the First Half (like TobyMac, Pillar and winner Paper Route) won't be re-listed here!

JFH's Highlighting 2015 Winner!


#1. Jon Foreman
The Wonderlands

Release Date: September 4 & October 23, 2015
Foreman is already one of the all-time industry greats, and his warm experimental approach to his newest set of EPs is still keeping us on our toes. The Wonderlands is already halfway over, but it's all been golden from here, and it's more than deserving of our #1 spot.
        - Roger Gelwicks

Foreman's writings are always a breath of fresh air, and another set of four EPs from this accomplished singer/songwriter are more than welcomed.
        - John DiBiase

Jon Foreman is one of the most compelling songwriters around; able to craft consistently thought-provoking, yet uplifting songs year after year. Whether he's going it alone or backed by Switchfoot, Foreman is an artist of unparalleled ability. So far The Wonderlands EP's have delivered everything that fans have come to expect, and more chapters are welcome.
        - Alex "Tincan" Caldwell

Initially, I was a little disappointed that Jon Foreman stole the spotlight once again, but it's hard to stay disappointed with such an ambitious project as The Wonderlands. With two successful installments and two more to come, there is a lot to be excited about from this singer/songwriter.
        - Christopher Smith

Those who say this site loves Switchfoot too much will have a field day with this one. But what can we say? Foreman as a solo artist has both the lyricism of the band and the intimacy of a singer-songwriter. What is not to love?
        - Mark Rice
