If you're looking for an artist with a soulful voice backed by diverse instrumentation and topped with honest, thought provoking lyrics, then this eleven-track CD is a must-have. Opening the CD is the title track. With its pop/rock sound, it sets the pace; letting the listener know right away this is a first class, well produced project. ... Shifting gears, the third track "So Lonely", moves to an up-tempo jazz feel, which can also be heard again on the song "And You Love Me".
One of the many highlights that stand out on this CD is the string arrangements that are found on the songs "Little Girl", "Gracious and Loving God", "None But You" and "Beautiful One". ...
"Gracious and Loving God" is the gem of the CD... [and] was also picked up by Cedarville University and put on their 2008 compilation release "Heartsong: Satisfied". ...
For her first CD, Jessa shows depth and maturity in her singing and songwriting. I look forward to future projects as she continues to grow and touch the hearts of listeners everywhere. - The Woodside News
Jessa Anderson is one of the most creative and sincere artists that I've worked with in a long time. She has an amazing voice and writes songs that reach right down into the heart of where people are in life. She is a Christian artist in today's marketplace that truly lives what she sings. Jessa has a passion for the lost and for those that are hurting. I encourage you to invite her as a featured artist into your churches, conferences, and special events. You will not be disappointed! - Big Dog Studios

"Jessa has a special and rare talent to communicate with her lyrics, they have a raw honesty that is refreshing. She has found new ways to speak about timeless truth. Her words are free of the clichés that fill most Christian music but are still clear in their content."

Bio
Jessa Anderson is a singer/songwriter bringing jazz and rock influences to her pop-centered music. The Nashville-based musician is often inspired by husband and fellow musician Jordan Anderson. The pair has toured throughout North and South America and Europe since June 2008, offering their unique sound for a variety of audiences.
Jessa pursued her love of music while growing up in southeast Michigan at both school and church. The idea for her debut album, Fundamentally Broken, was born while attending college in Ohio and Tennessee. With songs centering on both her triumphs and struggles, Jessa shared her heart with audiences through 11 original songs.
Jessas honest and intensely personal writing style continues on her sophomore release with 10 new songs. As she tours to churches, schools, universities and other venues with Jordan, Jessa often shares life lessons, struggles and humorous moments in conjunction with the songs themselves.
Jessa and Jordan will be touring throughout the spring and summer of 2010 following the mid-March release of her new CD. In June 09, Jessa was chosen as the winner of the ALIVE 09 New Artist Talent Search, resulting in a spot in the ALIVE 10 lineup among other upcoming dates.
Jessas music is available on iTunes and online. For a full touring schedule, previews of the upcoming CD, music, merch store and other information, please visit jessaanderson.com
