    For our 10th annual Highlighting feature, we split the year into TWO pieces -- January to June and July to December. Each list contains 10 artists/releases for a total of 20 in total for 2016. So, without further ado, we give you Highlighting Second-Half 2016! -- Please keep in mind that any artists that placed in the First Half (like Skillet, Paper Route and winner House of Heroes) won't be re-listed here!

#4. Family Force 5
untitled

Release Date: Late 2016
Well, the worst is behind them. with 2014's Time Stands Still, Family Force 5 sucessfully navigated the trecheous waters of a vocalist change and came out just as strong on the other end. Now that Crouton has been established as the band's new frontman, what's next? I'm excited to see!
        - Mark Rice

Time Stands Still proved that a Soul-Glow-Activatur-less FF5 still knows how to produce fun music. The new worshipful direction on Time Stands Still was an interesting surprise, but it made for a slightly jarring listening experience in conjunction with their crunk tunes. Hopefully these Kountry Gentlemen are more comfortable with their refined identity and can bring us the goods once again.
        - Christopher Smith

Although they lost a little of what made them so fun with Soli's departure, Time Stands Still was still a pretty solid album a bit of a return to form for the band. After ridiculously fun songs like "Raised By Wolves" and "Jet Pack Kicks" and last year's one-off "Hold Your Hand," I'm very interested to see where the fivesome go next.
