JFH Indie Inspection Review



David Santistevan
Near

Street Date: 2008
Style: Praise & Worship
Artist Website: DavidSantistevan.com


David Santistevan is a singer/songwriter and modern worship artist from the Pittsburgh area. The very first impression of the record was that it sounded like something coming out of Nashville. That's a good thing. Sound and production quality can lessen to impact of an otherwise strong record, but that is not the case here. The opener, "Glory of Your Name," gets things off to a great start, and the closing track, "Forever Near," brings the record to a great close. I only wish that the middle was a little more consistent. There are some good tracks, but it is largely forgettable. There weren't any bad songs here, just not a lot of stand out tracks. Overall, a good effort.
