Long before Joy Williams’ debut album hit the shelves, thousands of people
knew her beautiful voice. Joy was featured on the soundtrack for the hit movie,
"Left Behind" and even landed a single from that album -- the powerful
song, "I Believe in You." Since that time, she’s had several hit
singles, hundreds of fans and huge recognition. And now on her new album, Joy is
sure to go even further.
It is evident right away that Joy’s musical style has changed. Songs like
"Every Day," "I Wonder," and "Surrender" show a
more aggressive and upbeat side of Joy’s music and provide instantly likeable,
singable and radio-ready tunes.
But, although the album is noticeable for the upbeat songs, without a doubt, the
best track is the power ballad, "Every Moment." This song, which talks
about holding on to every moment you are given, shows off Joy’s amazing vocal
abilities and brings tears to your eyes.
When Joy’s album came out, it was an instant hit. Joy was instantly loved
because of her beautiful smile, powerful voice, and bright personality. Well, in
the year since her debut, Joy’s musical style has changed significantly, but
the things that made us fall in love with her haven’t.
