Robert Pierre's I’m All In CD, a review and giveaway

A few months back, I wrote about a new Christian recording artist, Rober Pierre, and his newest album, I’m All In.

Well, the time has come for the CD to launch.  The official launch date is tomorrow, Tuesday, July 26th.  But, I was sent a copy ahead of time to review and share with my readers.

Just like the few songs I was able to preview before, I found myself really enjoying the album.  If I was pressed to compare to other Christian artists, I would say it’s almost a cross of Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith from their early years.  The sound is definitely fresh and more modern than those artists early recordings.   But, it is the feeling that comes from listening that reminds me of them.  I want to join in the singing and find myself ‘be-bopping’ to the tunes.

Here’s a bit more information I was sent about the background of this CD:

For Robert, I’m All In is more than the name of his third studio album, due July 26 from thinkaboutit records. It has become Robert’s life motto as he responds to God’s calling to live fully committed to Him.  In addition to writing and recording I’m All In and playing on a summer tour, Robert also leads regular Sunday morning worship at his 800-member Orlando, FL church. And he’s done it all as a high school senior.

“All of the songs have something to do with things I was going through my senior year,” Robert said of I’m All In, “preparing to say goodbye to friends and not really knowing what would come next, but finding comfort and peace in the Lord’s plan for my life. The Bible talks about how the eyes of the Lord are searching to and fro throughout the earth, searching for someone whose heart is wholly His, someone He can strongly support. This CD is me saying, ‘I’m all in.’”

Creating I’m All In was a powerfully personal experience for Robert, who teamed with veteran songwriter Jason Ingram (Tenth Avenue North, Sanctus Real, Bebo Norman) and legendary producer Matt Bronleewe (Jars of Clay, Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman) on the album. The result is a collection of songs that enthusiastically and energetically worship God while wrestling with what it means to be a Christian in a world full of difficulty and joy, anxiety and excitement.
