\"Mat_kearney_207\"<\/a>Steve and I had the pleasure of hearing a set of Mat’s<\/a> music when we attended the John Mayer<\/a> concert recently and we really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

Here is his latest single…<\/p>\n

A music review reads, "In an industry dogged too much by cookie-cutter artists, Mat Kearney is a real breath of fresh air. Let’s be honest: What music exec would ever suggest that a blending of John Mayer-like subtle pop, Toby Mac-like rap, and Chris Martin-esque vocals could be rolled together for a winning combination? Stylistically, that’s what we get with Kearney’s outstanding major-label debut Nothing Left to Lose<\/em>. Nearly half of this album is culled from Kearney’s Bullet<\/em> release (2004), an independent label breakthrough success for the singer-songwriter. One of the most attractive elements throughout is a sound unlike any other in Christian music. While Kearney does little to mask his own faith in the interest of gaining crossover appeal, it’s his multi-flavored art that should draw listeners from all angles. Heart-gripping at moments, thought-provoking at others, Nothing Left to Lose<\/em> is intelligent throughout and one of the top releases of the year thus far." –Michael Lyttle<\/em> <\/p>\n
